Lithophane Art Process Setting in Using 3D Printing Technology

Abstract

This study is to develop a 3D printing method for producing lithophane. Images created by Lithophane are three-dimensional and change depending on the light source behind them. By heating the lithophane to the melting point and depositing layer by layer, a 3D-printed lithophane model was created. For the 3D-printed lithophane model, the ideal thickness is 3 mm, white is the appropriate colour, and the light intensity and distance is 50 mm, according to this research. This study is significant because it contributes to the advancement of 3D printing technology's ability to produce high-quality lithophane and opens up new knowledge perspectives.
