Abstract

See full text

A lithophane having a 3-dimensional representation of a 2-dimensional image and methods of creating the same are disclosed. The lithophane can include varying thicknesses that correspond to varying levels of shading or darkness in the 2-dimensional image. Portions of the lithophane have a decreased thickness relative to other lithophane portions and correspond to areas of the 2-dimensional image having an increased level of shading or darkness relative to other areas of the 2-dimensional image. The lithophane may be manufactured by way of an automated additive manufacturing process, such as 3-D printing.
