Equation-Driven Guided Sweep Pots

These 3D printable pots are based on equation-driven and guided-form design workflows from the Equation-Driven Pots project. The featured models were generated from a base profile swept along a closed-loop 3D guide shape, then further developed into functional pots by cutting the top and bottom, shelling the form, and adding drainage holes in 3D software such as Fusion 360 or Autodesk Mudbox.

This sweep-based workflow is part of the project’s SweepDesigner tool, which expands the design system beyond radial pot equations into guided 3D forms. It makes it possible to generate more complex looped, braided, and sculptural bodies that can then be refined in CAD or digital sculpting software into printable vessels.
