Project Description
The 3D printed vessels featured here are a exploration combining mathematical functions and the capabilities of a custom toolset in Rhino Grasshopper. Designed with a focus on minimal material usage and sustainability, these vessels are crafted from recycled PLA in a variety of colors.
Each vessels form emerges from the intricate manipulation of mathematical functions, resulting in visually intriguing and unconventional shapes. To ensure practicality, a glass vase insert is incorporated, facilitating easy cleaning and providing stability to the lightweight 3D printed structure.
With these vessels, I aimed to showcase the possibilities offered by digital fabrication while embracing environmentally friendly practices. They explore how basic geometry and code can shape something tangible.
