Thing of the Week: Pictures

According to instagram, photography is cool. Be the hip one with these 3D printable picture enhancers.

Cubify launched the Pics app in November of last year; the app turns photos into 3D printable art. It’s pretty cool, but it doesn’t quite capture the detail of photography. So MakerBot beat everyone to true lithopane when they put the Customizable Lithopane on Thingiverse.

A lithopane is a 3D image, where depth and shading are achieved through applying thicker layers on darker spots. The picture becomes visible only when light shines through it, so it should be positioned on a window or in front of a lamp.
