Here at MakerBot, we?re constantly rolling out new tools and product features that give you fun and easy ways to make the most of your MakerBot 3D Printer.
Today, we?re excited to announce the release of Version 1.0.5 of MakerBot PrintShop for iPad. Its dynamic design interface enables you to easily sculpt and 3D print an endless variety of decorative vases and containers.
Download MakerBot PrintShop 1.0.5 on the Apple App Store now.

Customizable and Optimized
Pick from four base patterns and then use the drag sliders to control surface texture, height, and shape to make a vase that?s truly your own. And while the Vase Maker tool is optimized for seamless use with all of our latest generation of MakerBot Replicator 3D Printers, if you have a MakerBot Replicator Z18 Printer, you can create and print vases up to 17.5 inches tall!
Make Elegant, Personalized Gifts
With endless possibilities and patterns for potted plant holders, desk accessories, bowls and containers, you?re just a few taps of your iPad away from creating the perfect personalized 3D printed gift for friends or family.
We Can’t Wait to See What You Make!
Post your creations to Twitter and Instagram with the tag #makerbotvasemaker.

Tip: For filling your vase, we recommend 3D printing our beautiful Spring Blossoms flowers available on the MakerBot Digital Store. However, if you want to use real flowers and water, find a small glass container and measure its height and diameter. Then, when using sculpting mode in Vase Maker, make sure the diameter of the vase?s opening is wide enough to fit your glass container inside.
NOTE: The decorative bowls and vases created with MakerBot PrintShop?s Vase Maker are not guaranteed to be food safe, water safe, dishwasher safe, or microwave safe.
