3D printer "CocoJet" capable of outputting complicated three-dimensional chocolate which can not be manufactured manually

Announced to jointly develop 3D chocolate printersThe chocolate company that was doingHERSHEY'S(Hershey)And manufacturing 3D printers3D Systems, But the latest prototype of 3D chocolate printer "CocoJetInternational Trade FairCES 2015It was exhibited at. From the movie on CocoJet published on YouTube, you can see that 3D chocolate printers are finally progressing to the stage of commercial closing.

To print ......


Of course chocolate. Chocolate will be output to stack one layer one layer.


The ingredient of a dedicated solvent used for dissolving chocolate is trade secret.


The shape of chocolate to print is free.


Chocolate corresponds to three kinds of Dark · Milk · White.


Three-dimensional chocolate has gradually been formed. The maximum amount of chocolate that can be output is about grapefruit. In addition, the chocolate that can be output in 1 hour by CocoJet is 4 to 5 if it is a bite size one.


With this feeling, chocolate of regular icosahedral type was made. Chocolate with a complicated three-dimensional structure has beautiful shaping beauty unique to 3D printers.


CocoJet is a product primarily intended for chocolatier (chocolate craftsman), and it is scheduled to be released in the second half of 2015. If 3D printers that can output chocolate spread, it seems that various forms of chocolate that can not be made by hand can appear one after another.
