Photo crystal engraving at http://www.ucrystal.com: Photo crystal engraving is explained step-by-step in this video clip. First, raw crystals prior to photo crystal engraving are shown. Then a photo crystal engraving machine is used to demonstrate how the photo crystal engraving process is carried out. Examples of 3D laser engraved photo crystal and 2D laser engraved photo crystals are displayed with fine details. The 3D photo crystal engraving is also known as 3D subsurface photo crystal engraving, 3D portrait etching, 3D photo etched crystal processing, and 3D photo inner engraver. The engraved photo crystals are great for gifts, awards, trophies, and plaques. They are suitable for occasions such as birthdays, graduation, wedding, anniversaries, corporate awards, etc.
On February 17th, 2010, Tiger Council hosted an event which was by far the coolest event held on Trinity campus (at least in my opinion). It was advertised all over campus 2 weeks in advance and so many students were looking forward to this event, namely, 3D Crystal Engraving. Basically, the process works like this: you get your photo taken, and they put a crystal block in this really cool machine and it starts engraving the photo in the crystal block within 5 minutes. The final version looks really cool since it is 3D and every way you rotate it, you can see yourself (as can be seen above the YouTube video)! The one major factor that attracted students the most was that it was FREE (not technically "free" since we do pay student activity fee, but still, we didn't have to pay extra). However, there were a limited number of crystal blocks so not everyone could get one. The event was held from 10a.m. to 4p.m. but there were fewer than 100 crystal blocks. I went around 2 in the afternoon and they only had about 10 left, but I was standing 6th in line, so luckily, I had a chance to get my photo engraved in a crystal and I love it. Since the event turned out to be so successful and many students did not have a chance to get one, I think Tiger Council should host this event every year. What could be cooler than having your photo engraved in a crystal? It is awesome!
