Design details: Red and White Spiral Vase
Twisting ribs join a red lower body to a pale upper section, creating a two-tone spiral profile. The transition between colors is a separate visual requirement from the underlying geometry.
Specify a color reference and the location of the transition rather than relying on a photograph alone. Deep grooves can collect finishing residue, and multiple colors may require separate masking or assembly steps.
Features to review on a similar design
- Define the two-color boundary on the model or drawing
- Clean recessed spiral grooves
- Assess sealing or a liner for any liquid-holding use
MJF polymer design review
MJF is a powder-bed polymer process suited to functional prototypes and repeated parts. For a similar design, consider material selection, local wall transitions, small openings and access for depowdering. Define mating dimensions on a drawing and check assemblies after the final finish, since smoothing and coating can influence clearances. A gallery image does not identify the exact polymer grade or demonstrate mechanical test results.

A dyed appearance depends on the substrate and finishing route. Specify a color reference and review a sample when color matching matters. Clean small openings before finishing, and assess color consistency across thin and thick regions. Dyeing does not remove the underlying surface texture.

Upload a STEP file for solid geometry or a high-resolution STL/3MF mesh for sculptural forms. Include overall dimensions, quantity, intended use and the faces or details that matter most. Add a drawing for mating interfaces and a color or finish reference for visual models. AIHFabs can review the geometry and manufacturing options before production.
