Custom 3D paintings
Your favourite photo, printed in thin layers of filament that come to life when light falls on them. A personal gift for birthdays, anniversaries, memorials and pets.
What is a 3D painting?
A 3D painting is printed from your photo in many thin layers of filament. Where the print is thicker it looks darker, and where it's thinner the light comes through, so the picture appears through light and shade.
The result is a textured, one-of-a-kind piece made from your own photo. The technique is known as HueForge.
