How it works
- Upload a hollow or open-top object
- Set core clearance, wall and split settings
- Review the core, shell and sealing interfaces
- Download the vase-mold component files

Vase and Planter Mold Generator
Generate a mold workflow for hollow, open-top shapes such as vases and planters. The vase preset uses a base, carrier halves, an inner core and an upper ring with core clearance measured in millimeters.

Vase Mold Generator
Generate a mold workflow for hollow, open-top shapes such as vases and planters. The vase preset uses a base, carrier halves, an inner core and an upper ring with core clearance measured in millimeters. Supported mesh inputs are STL, OBJ, 3MF, GLB, GLTF and FBX. STEP, STP and IGES should be exported to a mesh format first. The geometry workflow runs in your browser. Quote and account actions are separate services and are only used when you submit them.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make a mold for a vase?
Use the vase workflow for a hollow, open-top mesh, then set the inner-core clearance and wall-related controls. Review the base, carriers, core and upper ring before downloading the individual printable parts.
How do I create a hollow casting mold?
A hollow form needs an internal core that preserves the intended interior while the outer mold defines the exterior. In this workflow, core clearance is a millimeter control rather than a scale change.
Can I make a planter mold from an STL?
A compatible open-top planter-shaped mesh can use the vase workflow. Check the model orientation, core clearance and the generated parts before printing or choosing a casting material.
What is the difference between a vase mold and a two-part mold?
A basic two-part mold surrounds a solid model with two halves. The vase workflow adds an inner-core system and upper components for hollow open-top geometry.
How thick should a planter mold be?
The required wall depends on size, casting material, printing process and shape. Use the controls as a starting point and inspect the generated wall and core clearances instead of relying on one universal thickness.
