3D printer that prints chocolate?! | Bite Size

Chocolate on demand. A Philadelphia business built a 3-D printer that prints chocolate. Cocoa Pick what type of chocolate you want to use, pick a design, throw your SD card in the printer, stand back, and watch your edible creation come to life. The idea for Cocoa Press was born when Evan Weinstein was in high school when he built his first prototype in a robotics class. After 4 years of tinkering with the idea at the University of Pennsylvania, it has grown into a start up business run out of the University's Pennovation Center.

Dude, this alone is enough to make a really awesome chocolate store, but combine this with a normal printer farm and you got both a toy factory and a chocolate factory in one!

I can't wait for this to be perfected so that I can use one in my business.

You can literally make wonka type treats now!

How you figured out the temperature , nozzle and viscosity needed for printing them??

[@ShanKar-hd6ve]

3D printing is also available in confectionery modelling and art modelling.

This is cool, it looks identical to FFD printing used by the machines that use plastic. How fast is this printer? It would take several hours to print the vase in plastic, how long does it take on that chocolate printer?

How does the extruded work?

[@millionairekit683]

How you does set extruder temperature to 36°? Basicly it not gonna print before temperature rising 170°

Am I the only person in the universe who sees how absurd this mask obsession is?
