Lenticular Printing Technology

Our custom 3D, flip or animation artwork is developed through a technology called 'Lenticular Printing' which was first introduced in the mid-1950's, although the basic idea goes back as far as the 17th century.

 

Here's how it works:

What lenticular effects can be achieved?

A. 3D lenticular effects

In the 3D stereoscopic effects, the lenticular plastic allows each eye to see a slightly different representation of the same scene. The brain integrates both images and thus creates a three-dimensional illusion in the observer.

​

B. Flip and animation

The lenticular flip effect combines two or more very different images that change from one to the other as the angle of observation of the print changes. The animation effect, meanwhile, is composed of various images with slight differences but that together form a small video sequence. The zoom and morphing effects become variations of this same concept.

​

Why Luma 3D Art?

Luma 3D Art offers high quality products for individual clients. We don't require large quantity orders, so you can order your very own and unique 3D, flip or animation artwork and have an amazing visual experience right at home, or business. We present the artwork in an elegant light box to enhance the visual effect. The light box comes with a remote control to adjusted the light output. However, if you display the artwork in well lit area you don't need to turn on the light box.

If you are a reseller or an individual who would like to order multiple 3D artworks, we also offer significant discounts. Please visit the section Who Is It For? or Contact Us for more information. 

How do I get started?

For the 3D effect all we need is a fairly high resolution JPEG file of your image or photograph. If you have a physical photograph you can simply scan it and send us the file. No matter if color, black-and-white or however old your original image is, we can make your favorite shot into an amazing 3D artwork ! For any other effect we would require multiple images, please contact us for more information.
