Technology
Crystal engraving is a new technology that allows you to engrave
your customized photos or messages on a crystal.
A single laser beam penetrates through the crystal to an exact
coordinate, by applying the required energy it fractures
or melts the crystal at a specific point. This method is similar
to a focused magnifying glass. The laser technology is
non-invasive leaving no marks above or below the desired
fractured point. It's an excellent idea as it gives you a
personal touch as well as long lasting significance.
Now discover the possibilities of innovative laser technology
with Crystal Mirage. We use patent laser technology to
create stunning images deep inside beautiful optical crystals.
The brilliant interplay between laser and crystal glass
captures moments to treasure forever. We have also employed
traditional craftsman to make handcrafted crystal
vases and crystal cutlery. All our crystal gifts are skillfully
hand-cut for a beautiful everlasting effect. Realizing the
growing needs and awareness about crystals in India, within a
short span we have been able to meet and exceed the
in house requirement of the various government and corporate
institutions in India.
Market Scenario of Crystals
The market size of crystal products is in a very nascent stage.
It's only been a decade that crystal products have
been marketed and sold in India. Initially they were imported
from European countries. We at Crystal Mirage viewed
this growing market in crystals. As per the market research the
demand for crystals products in India is growing at an
annual rate of 200%. This drastic demand is due to the change of
taste of urban India.

Go to our Turn Your Photographs into Surprises or send us a
photograph and we can turn it into a 2.5D or 3D head. The better
thephotograph, the better the results!

3. Which file format needed for 3D engraving?The CorelDraw cdr,
Illustrators ai, eps, png for the text and high resolution* jpg,
tif, tga, pdf, bmp format for 2 dimensional text or photo
engraving. *High resolution: your file should be at least three
times the final engraved size at 72dpi. For example, if the
engraved size ofyour logo if 1"x1" then your jpg file should be at
least 216 x 216 pixels. (216=72*1"*3). For best results your logo
should have clean,sharp edges viewed at normal size.

4. Can my personal photos be turned into 3D images?Yes. We CAN
turn photos of people into 3D Heads or Busts. Just send a facial
image (portrait) from different angles and we can turn itinto a 3D
head. Send us pictures of objects, building and other items and we
can turn them into 3D images. The amount of work we haveo perform
to turn objects, building and other items depends on the complexity
of the image. There may be from 1 to 20+ hours of work
by one of our 3D artists. We charge INR 500 per hour and we have
a one (1) hour minimum for 3D work.Back To Top
5. How long does it take to get my crystal made?
e operate 6 days a week. After we receive your order and images
we can ship your finished order to you in 2-7 working daysdepending
on the time of the year. During the Festival & Holiday season
please allow up to 7 business days for manufacturing of yourorder
and 2-5 days for FedEx Ground shipping.

6. How to submit the artwork?Sending Us the Artwork - We
recommend that all files be sent to our emails:
[email protected] and/or [email protected]
include the following on all artwork submissions: #
Company/Organization information (if applicable) # Contact name #
Phonenumber Types of Digital Artwork- Vector Artwork - Images that
have their information stored geometrically and can be easily
scaled toany size without loss of quality. Generally produced with
graphics applications such as Corel Draw and Adobe Illustrator.
Raster Artwork- Images that have their information stored as pixels
or dots and do not scale well without a loss of quality (jagged,
stair stepped edgesetc.). Generally produced by digital cameras,
scanners and painting applications such as Corel Photo Paint and
Adobe Photoshop.
Artwork in vector format is preferred. Artwork should be
submitted without gray scales, halftones or color unless being used
for colorreproduction. If your artwork contains specific fonts that
are to be reproduced, it should be converted to curves (Corel) or
outlines(Adobe) before being submitted. Acceptable PC File Formats-
Here is the list of file formats that we can use in order of
preference:
Vector Formats: # .cdr (Corel Draw) # .eps (Encapsulated
Postscript) # .ai (Adobe Illustrator) Raster Formats: # .tif (TIFF
Bitmap) # .jpg #.gif Alternative Artwork Forms- Although CM prefers
digital art, we recognize that it is not always possible. The
following can be used inblack & white or color: # Laser
Printout # Photocopies # Inkjet Printout # Business Cards # Photos
# Patches # Faxes are the worst formof artwork. We prefer not to
use them.

7. How does the 3d Laser Engraving work?The 3D laser engraving
process uses a computer guided laser to precisely engrave 3D images
within optically perfect laser crystal. Initialefforts produced 3D
images engraved inside a solid piece of optically perfect laser
crystal without damaging the crystal block surface.Refinements have
added 2D images (pictures of people or things), text, 3D heads and
other 3D objects. Additional advancementscreated our latest
offerings, 2D sub-surface laser engraving is a unique merger of 3D
and 2D laser engraving which produces the highestquality laser
engraved image with unmatched quality and clarity.

8. How long will it take to make a customised 3D cyrstal?It
depends on how many point cloud any 3D/2D image has and ambient
temperature around the laser machine. Because if diodepumping the
laser systems gets heated; the engraving time also increases. With
200,000 points of 3D/2D image it will take about 2-3minutes to
finish one crystal (60,000/90,000 points/min) with portable laser
engraving machine at ambient temperature less than 22oC.

light to capture the information of shape and

appearance of real objects. This process provides a simple way
of acquiring 3D models of unparalleled details of objects and
realizes 3Dimage modeling by scanning them from the real world.
While a normal camera collects color information about surfaces
within its field ofview, 3D cameras collect distance information
about surfaces within its field of view. The "picture" produced by
a 3D camera describeshe distance to a surface at each point in the
picture.

10. What is External engraving, etching or
sandblasting?Sandblasting or etching is a generic term for the
process of smoothing, shaping and cleaning a hard surface by
forcing solid particlesacross that surface at high speeds. In glass
etching, abrasive is blasted at the glass lightly to turn the glass
semi-opaque. This whiting orsnowing of the glass can be used to
great effect to produce words or images. By adjusting the speed of
the sandblasting and the anglefrom which the abrasive is being
launched, differing shades can be created, allowing for some true
works of art.

11. What is internal / subsurface Laser engraving?Laser
engraving is the practice of using an intense lasers beams to
engrave or mark an object. The technique does not involve tool
bitswhich contact the engraving surface and wear out. This is
considered an advantage over alternative engraving technologies
where bitheads have to be replaced regularly. The laser machine
controls the direction, intensity, speed of movement, and spread of
the laserbeam aimed at the surface.

12. What type of images needed for scale modeling and miniature
and how long it may takes to complete the job?Preferably for scale
modeling, we need soft copy of high resolution photographs from all
the dimensions i.e. front, back, left, right, topand close-ups for
fine detailing and also floor plan in CDR or AutoCAD DWG/DXF
format. And the duration for any scale model dependsupon the design
and detailing in the original structure.
