Candy
Candy is a home 3D printer for children that prints edible shapes from candy granules. The machine is controlled by a mobile application, which allows the printing order, number and size of each model to be set. Three tanks hold three different candy flavours, so taste and colour can be combined in one print. The granules are heated, melted and formed through a nozzle. The body is made of plastic with a matte surface, and a transparent acrylic window opens by a spring switch to remove the finished candy. The design is inspired by the Chinese folk art of sugar figure blowing.
