The chocolate printer

Here is a funny project : Last year, a team from the University of Exeter presented the prototype to the public. Henceforth, the 3D chocolate printer is available for sale.

This sweet technology can be bought on Chocedge.com for $4000. The price is valid for the first 100 buyers, then the price goes up to $4600. To book it, you must make a deposit of 30% of the purchase price.

The printer works thanks to a 3D printing software and the melted chocolate replaces the ink.

Enjoy the video!

When we  talk about augmented reality, data-visualization, location-based, it appears as many abstract words behind which lies a reality about to come true.
