Model a Complex Vase in Fusion 360 | Hexagon Honeycomb Pattern Tutorial

Learn step-by-step how to model an attractive, complex vase in Fusion 360.
In this tutorial, I show you how I recreated a unique vase featuring:

A spherical (calotte) indentation in the center

A hexagonal honeycomb pattern wrapped around the surface

An elegant shape perfect for CNC wood machining or 3D printing

Although the design looks advanced, I guide you through a clean and repeatable workflow so you can easily follow along—even if you’re not a Fusion 360 expert.

👉 Ideal for woodworkers, CNC makers, digital artists, and 3D printing enthusiasts.
