At present, the printer has two styles: the reverse top printer ChefJet 3D, which is suitable for making cake top decorations, and the price is about 5,000 US dollars; the large color printer ChefJet Pro 3D is priced at about 10,000 US dollars.

A spokesperson for the company explained: "What's happening inside this machine is that a thin layer of sugar is spread out, and inkjet print heads and water are used to paint on top of the sugar, allowing the sugar to recrystallize and harden. Form a 3D printed object."

　　 The printer even carries a digital recipe that can inject flavors such as chocolate, cherry, mint, sour apple, vanilla, and watermelon into geometric shapes.

　　 ChefJet is not the only 3D food printer under development. It is reported that the European food company Baiweilai is developing its own 3D pizza printer.
