Photo to 3D print file

Turn a photo into a printable file.

Upload a picture — a portrait for a lithophane, or a broken part you need replaced. Formo's AI reads the image and builds a validated, watertight 3D file from it.

Two ways to go from photo to print

Lithophanes

A portrait or photo becomes a thin relief panel — lit from behind, the image appears in light and shadow. A popular gift format that needs zero design skill to produce.

Broken-part replacement

Photograph a snapped bracket, clip, or hook. Formo reconstructs the geometry and gives you a watertight-checked STL to reprint — no measuring calipers or CAD required.

FAQ

How does photo-to-3D-print work?

Upload a photo — a face for a lithophane, a broken part you need to replace, or an object you want reproduced. Formo's vision model interprets the image, asks a clarifying question if needed (size, mounting, material), and generates a validated, watertight 3D file.

What can I make from a photo?

Two common uses: lithophanes (a photo turned into a lit-from-behind relief portrait) and functional-part reconstruction (photograph a broken bracket, clip, or hook and get a replacement STL). Both go through the same watertight/dimensional validation as text-described parts.

Do I need a good camera or lighting?

A normal phone photo is enough for most cases. For lithophanes, a clear, well-lit portrait works best. For functional parts, include something for scale (a ruler or coin) in frame, or just tell the chat the real-world dimensions.
