A photograph.
A printable relief.
Shape a flat or curved lithophane from one photo. Inspect its actual mesh and thickness, then hand your slicer real STL files.
Android edition coming soon. Planned US$4.99 one-time purchase. A Google Play listing is not available yet.
Android and iPhone/iPad editions are separate purchases.
Know the thickness.
Choose thin and thick limits, inspect the mid-height section and include a connected 21-step test coupon.
Take the files with you.
Save the model, coupon, adjusted photo and setup PDF separately, or share the complete ZIP with a SHA-256 manifest.
Photo tones become geometry
Brightness, contrast, gamma, flip and invert alter the real thickness field. Width is developed arc length; height follows the photo aspect ratio. Projects retain their private working photo, settings and print notes.
Test your filament, slicing settings and lighting before printing. Tone view is a digital illustration, not calibrated light transmission. Porcela does not slice models, connect to printers or guarantee a physical result.
