More Information about MiscellaneousHow 3-D laser Crystal is Created: Thank you for your interest in Laser Crystal. A scientific class laser driven by a very
sophisticated computer software program creates an actual 3-dimensional image within a flawless piece of optically clear solid crystal. A concentrated laser beam is programmed to penetrate the crystal and create a miniature dot within. Following a precise sequence, tens of thousands of these imploded dotsform an exquisite design. Since the laser is non-invasive, it leaves no marks or blemishes to mar the surface of the crystal. Unlike Lucite, surface etch, or embedment products, when viewed from any angle the intricate design is viewed much like a 3-dimensional sculpture. Beams of light are refracted in thousands of directions creating a dramatic presentation. This collectable piece of art, of such timeless beauty, will be valued and appreciated by even the most discerning individuals. The design process for a laser crystal piece can take up to several weeks. First, design ideas are researched by the artist, who
gathers source photos and models. Pencil concept drawings are then created to show what the design will look like when done. The artists concept drawings are reviewed and changes suggested. Many designs never reach the creation stage. The Crystal Fox gallery, Nancy Stokes, designed the Cypress Tree, an exclusive design only solid at our gallery. Once they have a concept everyone is happy with, they start the CAD (Computer assisted Drafting)creation process. The designer uses CAD software to create a true 3 dimensional image. Each "dot" or point at which the laser will fire must be placed by hand. Designs can vary quite a bit in the time required to create them. Most take about 1 to 2 weeks to make the first version. That
version is then run and refinements are made to create the final version. The artist may run 2 or
3 versions before they are satisfied with the quality of the design. They use only optically
perfect crystal. They need this high quality of crystal to allow the laser beam, which will create
the image, to focus inside the solid crystal. Designs may contain 10,000 to 100,000 points, each
one placed by the designer and fired into the crystal by our laser system. The dot is placed by
the laser beam focused at a point within the solid block of crystal. This larger piece will take 2
hours for the laser beam to place over 70,000 points in the design. After the piece is finished they clean them and inspect them for quality. Most pieces are gift boxed and can be packed with
lighted bases, marble bases, or other accessories. This is a remarkable process with results that thrill even the HIGH TECH people in your life. Photos do not do the pieces justice. Just holding them and turning them around in your hand makes you appreciate the fine craftsmanship that goes into designing and producing each piece. We have various light box displays that really highlight the designs. If you are interested, please email us for more information.
