Form exploration in CAD/CAM. Vases were modeled in Fusion 360, taking advantage of direct modeling with T-Splines. The designs were fabricated with a Makerbot 3D printer, using PLA/bamboo filament, which gives the vases a more earthy texture. The angles of the vases were carefully planned so that the prints didn't need support material, making them faster and more efficient to fabricate.
