Highlights of the Project
Material Exploration
Gained an understanding of porcelain’s properties as a 3D printing medium, including its fluidity, drying behavior, and structural limitations during the printing process.

Software Proficiency
Acquired hands-on experience with Blender to design complex 3D models tailored for ceramic 3D printing, focusing on accuracy, wall thickness, and structural integrity.
Design Development
Selected a vase as the core design concept to explore both form and function.
Created two iterations:
The first prototype faced structural challenges and printing issues, providing valuable learning outcomes.
The second version addressed these issues with improved proportions, stability, and design considerations.
Integrated geometric shapes and surface textures to enhance both the aesthetic appeal and tactile quality of the final piece.
Final Outcome
Successfully 3D printed the refined porcelain vase, achieving a balance between form, material behavior, and visual expression.
