Italian graphic designer and author Pietro Corraini recently faced a pleasant conundrum: his young daughter was bringing him too many beautiful, tiny flowers she'd picked in parks and by the sides of roads.

Corraini turned to his design background and his Sharebot 3D printer to design new, small vases for his flower collection.
