What is MiniForge Vase Studio?

MiniForge Vase Studio shapes vases and planters in your browser. You start from a preset such as Classic Amphora or Narrow Neck and edit the side silhouette and the top outline, then layer geometric patterns or a relief made from an image or text. The textures are pushed into the actual mesh, so they show up in the exported file.

Planters can be hollow with a solid base and drainage holes, and the studio adds a separate saucer that matches the footprint, or a wick platform for self-watering. A spiral vase mode preview shows the single-wall shell; the export is a closed solid body, so you switch on spiral vase mode and set the top layers to zero in your slicer.

It exports STL, a Bambu 3MF that keeps the colors, or a ZIP of separate STL parts, and saves editable JSON projects. Exporting needs a Google sign-in, and the free version allows 5 designs a day for personal use. Commercial use needs DIAMOND on Patreon.
