LLMs design brutalist vases in parametric CAD, headed for 3D printing and concrete casting
burhop · x · 2026-09-05
Developer jakedahn shared a two-part experiment: first he asked DeepSeek v4 Pro to create a brutalist vase in his parametric CAD app, and the model built the planes, sketched polygons, and lofted everything into an elegant form. He then had Claude Fable 5.1 produce another version.
He plans to 3D print the result, create a silicone mold, and cast it in concrete for maximum brutalist effect — a fun demo of LLMs operating professional CAD tools end-to-end, from text prompt to manufacturable geometry.
