Who would have thought that a machine used to place writing on paper would be created edible desserts, surprisingly made in 3D! There are a variety of dessert types that can be generated such as printing sugar, chocolate, or candy in whichever shape or form that comes to mind. The secret to how the printer works is that a rolling pin lays a fine layer of powder onto the surface that will be used. Then an inkjet sprays a thin stream of water, drawing the design wanted by the programmed set. Whenever the water touches the powder the rolling pin has set the powder automatically hardens. This process is repeated layer by layer, adding a vertical inch per hour. The final result becomes a complex pastry with twists and turns that will amaze with how it is truly made.
The ChefJet will be premier around the first half of the year, but it is not recommended for one's home. The starting price will be "under $5,000", directed for the use of professional bakers, pastry chefs, restauranteurs and chocolatiers. A larger version is also available called the ChefJet Pro can add color to the confections, which will be at "under $10,000". The founder Von Hasseln came up across the idea with her husband, in which both are trained architects, by hacking a 3D printer with the intentions of making a unique birthday cake for a friend. The experiment came out successful which began their company The Sugar Lab.
