Not yet available apparently, but they mention[1] the printers are capable of printing chocolate, sour apple, etc.

The fact that they can get such vibrant and detailed printing makes this even more interesting. I can see a market for high-end restaurants, cake shops and confectionery shop to propose custom-made pieces.

What I wonder is how long it takes to print various pieces. The Pro version of the printer has a large printing volume of 10x14x8”. I imagine printing in full colour must add a significant amount of time as well.

Now the question is: how much are people ready to pay for a lump of sugar, however beautifully crafted it is?

This could be the first step towards entire 3D-printed meals.
