Precision Meets Art: The Japanese-Style Vase That Stopped Us in Our Tracks

At MTDCNC, we come across our fair share of impressive machined parts — but every now and then, something truly exceptional grabs our attention. This Japanese-style milled vase, originally produced for MECSPE 2023, is one of those stand-out pieces.

Unlike your typical engineering component, this part blends high-precision machining with complex geometry and elegant design — and that’s exactly what makes it special. It’s a perfect example of what’s possible when advanced CAM software, high-performance machining, and expert tooling come together.

🔶 Programmed entirely with #hyperMILL from OPEN MIND Technologies
🔶 Machined on a high-precision Mazak Europe CNC machine
🔶 Tooling support by MMC Hartmetall GmbH, a Mitsubishi Materials company

From the flawless surface finish to the flowing, organic curves, everything about this vase required close attention to detail — and the end result proves that technical excellence and artistic expression can absolutely go hand in hand.

It’s a little different from the parts we usually feature, and maybe that’s why we can’t stop looking at it. Not an everyday part — but definitely one we’ll remember.
