How We Create 3D Crystal Engravings
Ever wondered how a photo becomes a 3D crystal? Here we break down our step-by-step engraving process , from photo preparation and 3D conversion to laser engraving, quality checks, and premium packaging. Discover the technology and care that make every Beyond Memories crystal unique.
How It's Made
1
Expert Photo Enhancement
Our design team enhances your photo to ensure the clearest 3D result — adjusting contrast, sharpness, and composition for laser-perfect clarity.
2
Transformed into 3D
Using precision software, your 2D photo is carefully sculpted into a 3D model, capturing lifelike depth and emotion.

Quality Checked & Gift-Ready
Every piece is hand-inspected, polished, and placed in a premium box — ready to gift or cherish for a lifetime.
Step 1
Photo Preparation & Software Enhancement
Every engraving begins with your photo.
• Our designers review and enhance the image, adjusting brightness, contrast, and removing distractions.
• Specialized 3D software converts the flat photo into a layered model, giving depth and realism.
• Human oversight ensures faces, pets, and details look their very best before engraving.
STEP 2
3D Conversion
Using advanced imaging software, your 2D photo is transformed into a 3D file.
• This process calculates depth, contours, and subtle shadows.
• For portraits, we emphasize facial structure so the subject appears more natural in crystal.
• Multiple subjects are positioned carefully to maintain balance inside the engraving.
Step 3
Laser Engraving Inside the Crystal
The heart of the process is our ultra-precise 4K laser engraving system.
• The laser focuses light at thousands of precise points inside the crystal.
• Each micro-point creates a tiny etched dot, and together they form a full 3D image.
• Unlike surface etching, this method engraves within the crystal, leaving the exterior flawless and smooth.
Step 4
Quality Control & Speed
Every crystal is checked by hand before shipping.
• We inspect clarity, engraving accuracy, and alignment.
• Our production is streamlined: most orders are engraved and ready to ship within 24–48 hours.
• This means you get a premium, custom product without long delays.
Step 5
Finishing & Packaging
After engraving, your crystal is cleaned, polished, and packaged.
• Each piece is placed in a protective premium gift box.
• Add-on light bases are tested with your crystal to ensure maximum effect.
• Secure packaging prevents damage in transit.
Why Our Process Matters
• Software + Artistry: Most advanced tools plus human designers ensure every image looks its best.
• Deep-Layer Precision: Engraving inside the crystal gives unmatched depth and clarity.
• Fast Production: Our technology and workflow allow for quick turnaround without sacrificing quality.
• Consistency: Every step is monitored to deliver the same high standard for every customer.
