Linus Tech tips coverage of CES 2014 is brought to you by nc.com your source for
great technology selection and service along with Corsair memory and Western
Digital hey guys we're here in the 3D printing section checking out 3D systems
and their food printer so this can print chocolate and sugar stuff which is
insane and I'm here with Liz to tell us more about it so what can you tell me
more generally about your guys' printer awesome yeah so 3D Systems is really
excited to unveil at CES this week the first food safe 3D printers the chef jet
and the chefjet pro so these printers were super excited they work with a
bunch of different recipes like you said sugar and candy and a bunch of different
flavors and chocolate and they're fully
certified to go right in the kitchen along with your oven and your microwave
and all that and they can 3D print awesome geometries to go on cakes really
cool ornate wedding cake toppers everything from that down to custom
sugar cubes to sweeten your coffee and little personalized candies and anything
in between and really anything you can imagine and we're really excited about
this because it's totally new territory for 3D printing right so it it opens it
up to folks who maybe wouldn't be able to engage in the technology otherwise
and that's really exciting to us and we can't wait to see what these these
pastry chefs and Bakers do once they get their hands on this I think it's going
to be really cool seriously because looking at what you guys have here a lot
of it looks like building block platform so like if someone wanted to make like
you just said a pastry or something like that they could 3D print the Bas or
something something and then build on top of that and even if you don't want to do that if you just want to go with
the 3D printing style there's some really intricate stuff my favorite thing
is the the hollow Cube and you linked them together that's insane that you
guys are able to do that so so with with the plastic printers you have rolls of
filament how do you how do you get like is it like a canister of powder or how
does that work exactly so it'll be either we haven't quite developed it yet
because these are prototypes and they'll be available in the second half of this
year the delivery system of the dry materials hasn't been quietly quite
working out yet but it'll be a dry material so you might pour some into a
bin or you might have kind of a canister type situation but it'll be a dry raw
material and then a wet raw material they'll add to the dry right yeah and
then is this something you can mix on your own or is it something they would order from you guys or how does that
work right it's something we would provide because the material would be
really dialed in to work very well with the machine so you would get consistent
print quality every time awesome thanks a lot if you want to see all of our CS
