A soup spoon handle that lofts from oval to square
For a CAD class built around Fusion 360's loft tool, I designed a soup spoon whose handle transitions from an oval near the bowl to a square at the end. The result is a full, solid handle that feels closer to an ice cream scoop than flat flatware. I modeled and rendered it in Fusion 360, then 3D printed it to check the feel in hand.

Most spoons are one-dimensional
A typical spoon handle is a thin, flat strip. It works, but it gives your hand very little to grip and almost no sense of weight. I wanted a handle with real volume, something you hold rather than pinch.
The brief: design with a loft
The class assignment was to design a spoon using Fusion 360's loft feature, which builds a solid by blending between two or more cross-sections. That constraint became the idea: let the cross-section itself change along the handle.
Exploring the form
I sketched handle profiles, bowl shapes, and cross-sections before choosing a direction.
Early sketches: handle profiles, bowl shapes, and grip cross-sections.The Fusion 360 model: the handle lofts from an oval at the bowl to a square at the end.
A handle with weight
The final handle is full and robust, with a heft similar to an ice cream scoop. A gentle curve lifts the deep bowl so it sits level in soup.

Modeled, rendered, and 3D printed. Photos of the printed spoon coming soon.
