3D Printing of Ice Cream Now Possible

Now you can get ice cream made in the shape of a bull, a dodecahedron, the words “lick me”, a mobile phone… you get the idea.

For the 3D printing of ice cream, the requirements are a soft serve ice cream maker, a 3D printer, a small freezer, a nitrogen blaster to keep the ice cream solid and a poly anti-griddle (freezes food into a solid texture). The anti-griddle temperature of 30 deg F (-34.4 deg C) ensures results.                                    

PROCESS    

A modified ice cream maker is housed inside a small freezer to extrude the ice cream from the ice cream maker onto the printing bed.The ice cream landing out of the extruder on the printing bed is sprayed with liquid nitrogen to maintain a constant freeze surface.

Your frozen treat is ready!
