The aesthetic of an object is often shaped by the processes used to design and produce it. The 3D-printing community has developed a distinct aesthetic, stemming from the solid body modeling techniques and manufacturing constraints. This aesthetic is characterized by visually uncluttered surfaces, bright colored accents, and robust material usage.

I'm attempting to recreate this aesthetic, yet I'm having difficulty categorizing it due to my limited knowledge in art history. It could be considered minimalism, as it has little ornamentation, but it also appears to be more intricate than minimalism suggests. I would classify it as industrial, as it is mindful of its materials and highlights its structural components, yet it doesn't have the same materials or atmosphere as industrial architecture.

After submitting it as my upcycling project, I plan to showcase my designs at the Rocky Mountain RepRap festival. I want to adhere to this aesthetic because it's associated with popular designs online, and it's consistent with my past work.
