## '3D Printer x Gardening' — A New Culture Attracting Attention Today
In recent years, against the backdrop of the popularity of caudex and succulent plants, flower pots produced with 3D printers have been gaining attention among gardening enthusiasts. Pots featuring mesh structures and gyroid structures designed for breathability and drainage have emerged, and "3D printed pots" are steadily establishing themselves as a popular category in handmade markets such as minne. The balance of free-form modeling and functionality, which is absent in conventional mass-produced goods, is receiving strong support.
In this contest held amid such a trend, creators with 3D modeling skills and an interest in gardening and interior design intersected, bringing together 36 highly original works. The results demonstrated possibilities beyond traditional figures and prototypes, showcasing a "new way to use 3D printers."
## All 36 Works — A Competition of Highly Individualistic Creators
The entries for this contest range widely from practical planter designs to fantasy, architecture, and art. Please take a look at the free ideas unique to 3D printers, which you would absolutely never encounter with ready-made products.
From dinosaurs, mandragoras, and ruined cities to ammonite fossils and the texture of knitting—a colorful array of "one-of-a-kind pots" that can only be realized because of 3D printers has been assembled.
"Fun to look at, usable to make"—Since this is a contest that can be enjoyed just by looking at it, we invite those who do not own a 3D printer to visit the works page as well.
