These custom key chains are relatively small. They're about 1, 75 inches wide and 1,25 inches high, and only about 0,3 inches thick.

They are barely recognizable when these printed creations are just held in your hand. Your favorite photos will suddenly become clearly visible. This is because these key chains are lithophanes: a type of artwork that relies on the perception of light to make designs visible. This technique has been used for more than 200 years to create 3D designs, long before 3D printing technology was even a theory.

They will generate a 3D model based on a photo that you upload, and then send that 3D model to the production partner. Engineers started this line of products after becoming obsessed with the design possibilities of 3D printing. What most inspired them was the reaction of my coworkers at seeing some of my early prototypes. So, based on this enthusiastic response, they decided to create Print 3D For Me and sell the lithophanes as key chains.

Now several more products are in development and the business is growing. However, their primary goal in this endeavor is learn and have fun, and they've already done both quite a bit. Interested in owning your customized keychains online? Come to SnapMade and design it by yourself.
