Innovative technology company BumpyPhoto.com launches a new patent-pending product line to turn a standard 2D photo into a full-color 3D relief sculpture. Customers can capture special memories and freeze them in time-and-space with this one-of-a-kind personalized photo art, ordered online and delivered straight to their doorstep.

More consumers are now choosing to keep digital copies of their photos and never actually purchase prints. Classic 2D photographic printing is in fact being replaced by a growing demand for high-value photo gifts, such as mugs, shirts or stylized canvases. BumpyPhoto.com takes this mass-customization trend to the next level by offering a new medium for photography. There was a time when only the rich and famous could afford to have bas-relief or cameo sculptures carved in stone and hand-painted. Now, with the advent of state-of-the-art 3D printing technologies, BumpyPhoto.com makes this art form available to everyone.

Simply upload a standard 2D digital photo of people, pets, landscapes, paintings, cartoons or any other subject and BumpyPhoto.com does the rest. A photorealistic color depth map is reconstructed from the photo which is the basis for the 3D printing process. The sculptures can be as small as 1" and as large as 15"- or more on request. Prices start at $79 for a 4" BumpyPhoto.

“BumpyPhoto.com brings traditional 2D photography into the full 3D sensory world of the 21st century. You can now literally touch and feel your photographic memories. It makes your photos truly sense-sational!” says John Katon, Sales Director of BumpyPhoto.com.

By using LED lights you can make your BumpyPhoto relief glow in the dark or just give it that extra special finish. Most LED systems (such as IKEA's Dioder) allow you to vary the light color over time either smoothly or more abruptly. See for yourself in the video below:
