We are a niche manufacturer specializing in subsurface laser engraving of personalized crystal keepsakes. Our process transforms 2D portrait images into stunning 3D bas-relief engravings using precision point cloud modeling. We’re seeking a skilled 3D Specialist to lead the conversion workflow and deliver engraving-ready assets with exceptional accuracy and visual impact.
Key Responsibilities :
- Convert high-resolution 2D portrait images (JPEG / PNG) into 3D bas-relief point cloud models suitable for subsurface laser engraving
- Apply depth mapping and facial feature enhancement to create realistic raised effects
- Enhance image contrast and clarity to optimize depth extraction and model fidelity
- Ensure output compatibility with engraving machine formats (e.g., OBJ, PLY, or proprietary formats)
- Scale and align models to match specific crystal dimensions (e.g., 5cm cube, 8cm rectangle)
- Perform quality checks to ensure model integrity, resolution, and engraving readiness
- Collaborate with production team to meet turnaround times and maintain consistency across batches
Requirements :
Proven experience in 3D modeling, depth mapping, or point cloud generation from 2D imageryProficiency with tools such as Blender, ZBrush, MeshLab, or custom depth conversion softwareFamiliarity with subsurface laser engraving workflows and machine file requirements (preferred)Strong understanding of bas-relief modeling principles and facial geometryAbility to work independently and deliver consistent, high-quality resultsAttention to detail and commitment to precision in scaling and formatting'Preferred Qualifications :
Experience with portrait-based modeling or photogrammetryKnowledge of OBJ file optimization and mesh simplificationFamiliarity with crystal engraving constraints (e.g., internal reflection, depth limits)What We Offer :
Flexible remote work environmentCompetitive project-based or hourly compensationOpportunity to work on unique, high-impact personalization productsLong-term collaboration potential as we scale production
