2D and 3D refer to the actual dimensions in a computer’s workspace. 2D is ‘flat’, using the X & Y (horizontal and vertical) axis’, the image has only two dimensions and if turned to the side becomes a line. 3D adds the ‘Z’ dimension. This third dimension allows for rotation and depth.

Laser is an acronym of Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. A laser is a cavity that has mirrors at the ends and is filled with laserable material such as crystal, glass, liquid, gas, or dye. These materials must have atoms, ions, or molecules capable of being excited to a metastable state by light, electric discharge, or other stimulus. The transition from this metastable state back to the normal ground state is accompanied by the emission of photons which form a coherent beam.

The engraving process uses a laser to etch images and text on your crystal. When the laser is focused on to the glass, the focal point of energy is so high that the structure is changed at a small point. The laser beam is controlled by a computer, creating an image made of a thousand small points. This laser process is known as Vitrography. 

Yes, our highly skilled and trained designers are working with the latest software and laser technology for image conversion to turn 2D images into 3D images. We make it easy for you – just give us your photo and we do the rest.

Yes, we can take simple logos or graphics and laser them on to the glass in 3D. If the logo you send is not a 2D illustration or is made of complex color gradients, it may not work. If you have questions about your logo, email us at sales@cubecrystal.com.

The quality of your engraved crystal photo gift is totally dependent on the quality of the photo you send to us. High quality photos for engraving share two important characteristics :
High Resolution : What does “High Resolution” mean? It means that the photo is created or scanned at a minimum of 300 dots per inch (DPI). High resolution files retain more detail and allow us to create a sharper image inside the crystal.
If you are scanning your photo using a photo scanner, the software that came with it will have a setting for High Resolution, or will allow you to select the DPI setting. While we can engrave lower resolution photos, they will not be as sharp as a higher resolution photo. Please do not ask us to engrave photos from the Internet since they are very low resolution and will result in very blurry engraved images.
Good Contrast : Contrast means that you can easily distinguish the objects in a photo from each other. It also means that there is a good distribution of light and dark elements in the photo. Overly dark or overly light photos will not result in a high quality engraved crystal. If, for example, you send us a photo taken at night and all you can see in the photo is Aunt Mary’s eyes, her eyes will be what you see in the crystal. Conversely, overly bright or light photos will result in very bright and hard to distinguish engraving.

Our system can process almost any image file format. The most common file formats include JPG, JPEG, GIF, TIFF, BMP, and PNG. If your file format is not listed here, contact us at sales@cubecrystal.com and we will let you know if your image format is compatible. 

Be sure to make your order first and get the order #, then email your photo to photos@cubecrsytal.com with the order #, full name, telephone number and email, we will contact you if necessary.

Only If you order a color crystal, we will keep the background. For 2D and 3D Engraving, our designers automatically remove the background.

We do not offer proofs for individual orders. Since our designers do their best to match the 2D/3D engraving to the submitted image, your photo serves as the proof.
For quantity order of 12 or more, we will send you a proof upon request.
