3D Print on Glass / Stained Glass (Rigid Materials)

In the realm of Stained Glass art, a groundbreaking technique has emerged: 3D printing images directly onto glass surfaces. Unlike traditional methods that require assembling individual glass pieces, this technology allows artists to create detailed and volumetric images with depth and dimensionality in a streamlined process. 

It is also possible to create effects that are not available to traditional glaziers, such as gradient fillings in any color. Or very small multicolored details. Or smooth thickness changes on different elements of the image.

The same effect of antique Stained Glass can be achieved on transparent acrylic or polycarbonate. These materials weigh two times less than glass of the same thickness and at the same time have 10-20 times more impact resistance. Our extensive experience allow us to create the effect of aged (stain / colored / textured) glass on plexiglass plastic with such details that you will never distinguish it from real glass.

The process begins with digital design using software, where artists craft intricate patterns and motifs tailored to their vision. These designs are then processed in unique software and printed onto glass using specialized 8 colors 3D printing machine, achieving precision and detail that were once challenging with traditional methods.

One of the key advantages is the ability to produce lifelike images with intricate textures and shading, pushing the boundaries of stained glass art. This technology also offers efficiency by reducing labor-intensive assembly processes and material waste.

Moreover, full color 3D printing on glass enables versatile customization for various projects, from bespoke art installations to architectural features. It combines artistic vision with technological precision, offering endless creative possibilities while revolutionizing stained glass craftsmanship.
