In this study, design and production processes of ceramic vases inspired with different geometrical shapes and produced with three-dimensional printers have been examined. When ceramics are being designed, polygons and parabolic forms were used as a starting point. These forms which are designed in three dimensions in a computer are formed taking into account the structural characteristics of ceramic materials. In these designs printed by delta model three dimensional ceramic printer with FDM method, colored porcelain in different amount and high fired clay which contains 25% of chamotte has been used. Within the scope of the study, the limitations of the design of a ceramic material and mistakes caused by the material were mentioned. The different effects of commands on ceramic surfaces in the design process, as well as conscious and unconscious mistakes are very important to bring the characteristics and plastic features of ceramic forms to the foreground. In addition, considering the behavior of ceramic in the printing process, the effects of design mistakes made consciously on the surface have been investigated. In addition to this, the different methods in the production of the bottom parts and surfaces of the ceramic vases were evaluated comparatively in the scope of the study.
