Hershey Launches 3D Chocolate Candy Printing Exhibit
Posted on February 25, 2015
Hershey chocolate scientists have been testing the 3D printing of chocolates. The company recently partnered with 3D Systems to launch a 3D Chocolate Candy Printing exhibit at Hershey's Chocolate World Attraction in Hershey, Pa.
The chocolate manufacturer says the model it has on display is the most advanced 3D chocolate printer in operation in the world today. Visitors to the exhibit will get to watch the 3D chocolate printer in action and interact with with a library of 3D graphics scanned to see what they will look like as chocolate. Hopefully, they will also get to eat the 3D printed chocolates.
This Hersey video shows 3D chocolates of various geometric shapes being printed with the new technology. Take a look:
