If you are a foodie, here is something for you. Classic 3D printing is giving way to chocolate printing.
3D printing technology can do wonders. But how about a 3D printer where chocolate replaces plastic/resin? This is exactly what the company Cocoa Press (which bears its name very well) offers with its very special product.
3D printing for gourmets
The cocoa press has a volume of 140x150x150mm, which is actually quite small for an ordinary 3D printer, but more than sufficient for most chocolate creations. Unlike most plastic filaments, which need to be heated between 200 and 250 degrees Celsius, this printer only heats its chocolate to 33 degrees Celsius. Otherwise it would be a serious problem…
Expensive though
Instead of a spool of filament or a tank of resin like a classic 3D printed product, the Cocoa Press uses 70g cartridges of specialty chocolate that solidifies to 80 degrees Fahrenheit (26.67 degrees Celsius). The company will also sell the refill for $49 for a 10-pack. For the restCocoa Press do-it-yourself kits start at $1,499 and are $3,995 for a pre-built model. done professionally. When you reserve your 3D printer, you only need to pay a deposit of $100, the balance is due upon shipping.
A useful little clarification: the company claims the DIY kit will take 10 hours to assemble. Unless you’re a handyman, you can probably double count. Not everyone is lucky enough to be gifted with their hands. In the video presentation above you can see the creation of a fish, a vase and a chocolate barrel. You the pleasure of being able to create the object of your dreams in 3D to be able to eat or offer it.
