CHOCOFORMER is a premium chocolate 3D printer to create finest three-dimensional chocolate objects. It’s made for professionals as well as hobby confectioners and works with different fine chocolates.

Features
CHOCOFORMER works with melted chocolate. To start a print job, premelted chocolate must be filled into the tank of the print unit. A dosing screw then extrudes the chocolate continously through a nozzle and forms the programmed part layer by layer.
Each print unit is active heated and holds up to 300g melted chocolate. It can also be refilled without interruption of a print job. An integrated stearing unit keeps the chocolate in motion to ensure a constant chocolate consitstency. The nozzle can be replaced. Nozzles in different sizes are available.
To allow high quality prints the build chamber is cooled down to constant temperature. The print unit can be easily dismounted or exchanged over a built in quick lock system. All parts of the print unit and the build plate are made of food safe materials and can be cleaned up in dishwasher.
Showcases
We wanted to demonstrate the immense potential of generative AI tools such as OpenAI’s #DALLE for 3D printing. Our web-based ShapeDiver configurator allows users to create, modify, and slice 3D-printed chocolate cookies in a fully automated workflow.

About us
CHOCOFORMER was built in 2018 by students and engineers of OST University of Applied Sciences Rapperswil in Switzerland. The machine is the first of its kind to demonstrate the proof of concept. We are looking for industrial partners to bring the CHOCOFORMER in serial production. Please contact us, if you are interested to find out more.
