laser art - you in crystal

custom 2-d & 3-d laser crystal art photocrystals... 

we now can directly offer you 2-d and 3-d portrait options of  your image sub-surface engraved into a large solid block of crystal or a frame' able 5 x 7 x 3/4 or 3 x 4 x 3/4 glass or crystal sheet.  

if you are interested in having a 3-d image done of yourself?  we would have to take that photo of you with our specific photocrystal 3-d cameras.  so, this option is generally an on site process, unless you would like our company to provide you with an on-site at your location. if this is what you want, please go to the 3-d photo events in the laser crystal dropdowns in this site or click on this www.glassblowers.org/laserart-3-dphotoevents.htm page.  we could go to your function with our 3-d photo imaging equipment anywhere in the world.  setting up an area that is convenient for you.  you just enjoy the excitement.

if you are interested in having a 2-d image done of yourself?  you can send us a photo (via e-mail attachment or standard mail delivery) of the 2-d image that you would like us to place inside of your crystal.  this 2-d imaging process is the most favored option requested by consumers.  turn around time for delivery is 7 to 10 days.

what we need from you is the photo that you would like us to copy.  the greater the contrast in the photograph the better the results of your project will be.  this format will only allow itself to a 2-d process and is available in the same solid block of crystal or a frame' able 5 x 7 x 3/4 or 3 x 4 x 3/4 glass or crystal sheet available in the 3-d process.

we also need the photo sent as a jpeg. with the resolution at very least 300 dpi.  please keep in mind when sending the photo...  the better the quality of the photo, the better the results of your crystal laser art project will be.  please send your photo via our contact form. 

regarding the prices?  the 3 x 4 x 3/4 is $59. and the 5 x 7 x 3/4 is $129. and the solid crystal cubes are in various price ranges depending upon which one you choose.  you could go to www.glassblowers.org/crystalblanks.htm to see the various sizes and options available to you.

finally, affordable custom-made detailed laser inscriptions are now available directly to you in any quantity or size that you may require.  from commemorative keepsakes and trophies, to whatever specific pinpoint engraving needs you might have, we can create the specific piece you need.

our state-of-the-art 3-d laser process creates unbelievable holograms inside optical perfect crystal.  by combining artistry with technology, our intense laser beams create this art of light and power for you.  this capability allows your 3 dimensional drawing, image, painting, or sculpture to meld into a flawless piece of crystal.

this is the true 3-dimensional holographic imaging method that allows your image to be created within a solid piece of crystal through a new space-age laser inscription process.  without blemishing the flawlessly polished crystal�s surface, this sophisticated process produces the suspended inner image that lasts forever�

how do we create your 3 dimensional inscribed laser crystal project?

this process uses a scientific laser that's driven by a very sophisticated computer software program that will create your actual 3-dimensional image within a flawless piece of optically perfect and clear solid crystal block.  concentrated laser beams are programmed to penetrate and create a single minuscule dot within the crystal.  these powerful laser beams are highly focused on a single predetermined microscopic point. 

the laser system then refocuses to burn yet another seemingly insignificant particle of glass at another exact point within your project.  following a precise sequence, these laser inscribed points combine to form the completed image in exquisite detail.  depending on the size and detail of your project this process could possibly be repeated millions of times in order to create your amazing 3-d image.  from a delicate design to an exceedingly complex assignment, the 3 dimensional laser inscribing process can create the perfect objet d�art.

since our laser is non-invasive, the inscribing process leaves no marks or inaccuracies what-so-ever on the surface of the highly polished crystal.  when viewed from any angle the intricate design appears like a 3-dimensional sculpture.  beams of light are refracted in tens of thousands of directions creating a dramatic presentation from all possible viewing angles.  your collectable piece of glass art is timeless and should be appreciated by even the most discerning individuals.

the design process for a laser crystal piece can take up to several weeks, depending on your needs.  from designing pencil concept drawings, research, gathering source photos and models, to reviewing possible changes, no detail will be overlooked during the creation of your custom art work.  once we have a final model we will continue onto the computer assisted drafting process to generate your true 3 dimensional images.  each "dot" or point at which the laser will be fired must be precisely placed by hand.  only after all refinements are made will your final design be run to create your laser ready version.

we have several different qualities of optically perfect crystal.  the only difference between each product is the percentages of the lead content within the crystal.  our need for high quality crystal is simply to allow the laser beam to focus precisely inside the solid block of crystal, undisturbed by flaws or inclusions.  your design could contain anywhere from hundreds of thousands to millions of laser pinpoints that are fired directly into a solid block of crystal.  larger projects could take upwards of 2 hours for each piece for the laser beam to place all its millions of predetermined firing points, making your design exclusively yours.  after your piece is finished, we clean and inspect your project to ensure the quality that you and we expect.

this remarkable process results in the thrill of getting a high tech treasure that affirms your appreciation of your essential people.  holding your custom laser inscribed crystal project while turning it in their hands and changing the viewing angle helps everyone to appreciate the fine craftsmanship and huge effort that goes into designing and producing each glass art piece.  not to mention the inevitable �how did they do that?� reaction everyone experiences when first view these unique sculptures.

our pieces can be gift boxed, and may be packed with a lighted base, marble bases, or any other custom accessories you might want us to create.
