About this design
Picture the family photo you love most, lifted off the screen and pressed into wood with real shadows, real depth, and faces you can run your thumb across. That is what this custom portrait does. The example here shows four people close together, smiling, every fold of clothing and strand of hair shaped in relief inside a clean rectangular frame. Your own photo becomes the same kind of keepsake.
This is a made-to-order, high-detail bas-relief STL built from the picture you send. The modeling holds crisp facial features and soft tonal transitions, so the carve reads clearly even at modest sizes. It comes ready for Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, and ArtCAM, and it cuts well on a CNC router or prints clean on a 3D printer. For machining, rough the surface with a 6mm end mill at 40 percent stepover to clear the bulk fast, then switch to a 3mm ball nose at a tight 10 percent stepover to pull out the fine detail in the faces and texture. Use it for wall art, anniversary gifts, wedding keepsakes, pet memorials, and personalized home decor that nobody else can copy.
Here is how it works: place your order, send your photo to Jolly@digitalchiselco.com or share the image link at checkout, and you will get a 3D preview within one business day. Once you approve it, your final STL arrives as an instant-style digital download, ready to carve or print. Commercial use is included, so make it for yourself, gift it to someone who will tear up when they see it, or sell finished pieces from your shop. Send your photo and let's turn it into something you can hold.
