great technology selection and service along with Corsair memory and Western
0:09
Digital hey guys we're here in the 3D printing section checking out 3D systems
0:14
and their food printer so this can print chocolate and sugar stuff which is
0:17
insane and I'm here with Liz to tell us more about it so what can you tell me
0:20
more generally about your guys' printer awesome yeah so 3D Systems is really
0:25
excited to unveil at CES this week the first food safe 3D printers the chef jet
0:30
and the chefjet pro so these printers were super excited they work with a
0:34
bunch of different recipes like you said sugar and candy and a bunch of different
0:38
flavors and chocolate and they're fully
0:41
certified to go right in the kitchen along with your oven and your microwave
0:45
and all that and they can 3D print awesome geometries to go on cakes really
0:50
cool ornate wedding cake toppers everything from that down to custom
0:54
sugar cubes to sweeten your coffee and little personalized candies and anything
0:59
in between and really anything you can imagine and we're really excited about
1:02
this because it's totally new territory for 3D printing right so it it opens it
1:07
up to folks who maybe wouldn't be able to engage in the technology otherwise
1:11
and that's really exciting to us and we can't wait to see what these these
1:15
pastry chefs and Bakers do once they get their hands on this I think it's going
1:18
to be really cool seriously because looking at what you guys have here a lot
1:22
of it looks like building block platform so like if someone wanted to make like
1:26
you just said a pastry or something like that they could 3D print the Bas or
1:29
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
1:33
the 3D printing style there's some really intricate stuff my favorite thing
1:36
is the the hollow Cube and you linked them together that's insane that you
1:40
guys are able to do that so so with with the plastic printers you have rolls of
1:44
filament how do you how do you get like is it like a canister of powder or how
1:48
does that work exactly so it'll be either we haven't quite developed it yet
1:51
because these are prototypes and they'll be available in the second half of this
1:54
year the delivery system of the dry materials hasn't been quietly quite
1:59
working out yet but it'll be a dry material so you might pour some into a
2:04
bin or you might have kind of a canister type situation but it'll be a dry raw
2:09
material and then a wet raw material they'll add to the dry right yeah and
2:13
then is this something you can mix on your own or is it something they would order from you guys or how does that
2:17
work right it's something we would provide because the material would be
2:20
really dialed in to work very well with the machine so you would get consistent
2:24
print quality every time awesome thanks a lot if you want to see all of our CS
