Technology for sub-surface engravingHere is a brief overview of how we get from a photograph portrait to the finished glass object. The beauty of it is the simplicity of the process. Because what is most important to us is offering you products that are easy to use and reliable. So you can focus on what matters most: your customers.

Step 1: Take a portrait using our c-cam 3D camera or create a special 3D design for your customer using CAD software

Step 2: Process the data using our powerful crystalab software. This allows you to create complex laser images with ease on your pc to act as a template for your glass image.

Step 3: Once you have transferred your image template to one of our laser systems, a laser beam will burn it into crystal glass with maximum precision and at high speed. The surface remains smooth and flawless.

Step 4: Now captured forever, you can present an amazing 3D crystal image to your customer in just a few minutes!

Business potential for youWhat you could earn! Here some figures to help you provisionally estimate your potential turnover and profit. Please bear in mind that figures may vary depending on the location. For simplicity, only two products are considered here: 3D portraits in size 50 x 50 x 80 mm and keychains in a 15 x 20 x 30 mm format. You can also boost sales further by marketing accessories such as light bases and other glass items. First some general information: For 3D photography, you can expect to spend approx. 1 minute per person, including preparation and image processing. Laser processing takes approx. 3 minutes for the 50 x 50 x 80 mm glass size and approx. 45 seconds for a keychain. Raw materials: We will supply crystal glass in different shapes and dimensions from our stock in excellent quality including a gift box. We deliver at short notice and for excellent price. Please ask for our up to date price list. Standard retail prices (net) for engraved glass: 50 x 50 x 80 mm incl. 3D portrait 50 EUR keychain incl. 3D portrait 20 EUR Taking a 3D laser shop as an example: Your business is situated in a central pedestrianised zone with high footfall, in a shopping centre or near a tourist attraction. Notional sales per day: Blocks sold 50 x 50 x 80 mm: 10 pcs./day Keychains sold 15 x 20 x 30 mm: 15 pcs./day To determine your profit, you need to work out your monthly costs. These costs primarily relate to the rent for your store, monthly instalments for the camera and laser equipment, labour costs, raw materials and other general costs. In order to calculate potential profit, please ensure your estimates are as realistic as possible. If you have any problems or reservations about your calculations we are happy to assist!
