Exciting news for chocolate lovers!! They may soon be able to print their own 3D designs for chocolate. Researchers at the University of Exeter in the UK have been able to design a 3D printer that uses chocolate and uses layers of chocolate instead of ink or plastic. Several retailers have expressed the desire of taking one such device which is still a prototype.
Once the prototype takes the shape of a finished product, it is likely to become a part of the restaurant and food preparation industry.
Becoming part of social networks
Lead scientist Dr Liang Hao's team wants to take he printer into cyberspace. Dr Hao said next to come would be creating a chocolate oriented website.
As told by Dr Hao to BBC News, "Now we have an opportunity to combine chocolate with digital technology, including the design, digital manufacturing and social networking".
"Chocolate has a lot of social purpose, so our intention is to develop a community and share the designs, ideas and experience about it."
