3D CANDY
Hefty price tag
Do you have money you don't know what to do with and need a gift idea for a sweet-toothed
friend who has everything?
ChefJet and ChefJet Pro are the latest 3D printers about to hit the market. Aptly named, the
printers print real, edible mouth-watering sweet treats.
They use a combination of water and sugar and can create candy, deserts, and sugar cubes in all
shapes and sizes.
The company responsible says they are: “the world’s first and only professionally-certified,
kitchen-ready 3D food printers.”
The price tag? A rather hefty five-thousand dollars - that is, if you are happy with the basic
model. But for the really cool stuff you’ll need to buy the ChefJet Pro, and for that you're looking
at a price tag of ten-thousand dollars.
ChefJet and ChefJet Pro will be available for purchase in the second half of the year.
Keywords: hefty, tag, edible, aptly, certified, mouth watering
