Martin Žampach's WAVE Vases Embrace FDM Layer Lines as Design
The WAVE collection of 3D printed vases by Martin Žampach is tailored for desktop FDM printers, embracing the usual layer lines as an intentional design feature. Each vase is crafted in a single, continuous spiral, with 0.4 mm layers creating ridges that contour to the shape, eliminating the need for support or post-processing. The design is optimized for FDM, enabling prints in any filament color without the use of molds or finishing touches. Žampach views FDM as a material with its own texture, making the production method essential to the final appearance. The vases can be produced in matte black to mimic carved stone or in translucent PETG to reflect light. This project is featured on Behance.
