ScienceDaily (July 4, 2011) — Manufacturing and retail could get a much needed boost from a newly developed 3-D chocolate printer.

In the long term the technology could be used by customers to design many different products themselves -- tailor-made to their needs and preferences.

Using new digital technology the printer allows you to create your own designs on a computer and reproduce them physically in three dimensional form in chocolate.

I wonder what file type we'll need to print 3D chocolates? .eat? .hot?

Let's find out, and start an online library of 3D images, optimized for chocolate constructions...

Good question. Going to need some serious thought.

In the meantime, here's a great free program to do your designing in 3D:

heh...

I recently built a 3D scanner, and have been looking for a way to use it.
