About Candy Candy 3D Printer

Candy dia mpanonta 3D ho an-trano ho an'ny ankizy izay manonta endrika azo hanina avy amin'ny vovoky ny vatomamy. Fehezin'ny fampiharana finday ny milina, izay ahafahana mametraka ny filaharan'ny fanontana, ny isa ary ny habe'ny modely tsirairay. Misy fitoerana telo mitahiry tsiro vatomamy telo samihafa, ka azo akambana amin'ny fanontana tokana ny tsiro sy ny loko. Hafanaina, ampiongana ary aforona amin'ny alalan'ny loharano ny vovoka. Vita amin'ny plastika misy velatra matte ny vatany, ary misy varavarankely akrilika mangarahara mibahana amin'ny alalan'ny fanjairana kitro mba hanesorana ny vatomamy vita. Ny endriny dia entanin'ny kanto nentim-paharazana Sinoa amin'ny fitsofana endri-tsiramamy.

Unique Properties: This is a home version of the children's candy 3D printer. The machine is operated by the mobile phone APP. It uses various flavors of candy particles as the material to print the taste and color image. There are many kinds of 3D data models to choose from, which can add a lot of fun to children's lives.This machine is simple in shape, more rounded overall, and the color tends to be cartoonish.
Dimensions & Packaging: Overall size: 202.4X294.0X168.2mm
Maximum print size: 100.5X100.5x120.0mm
Tags: Candy, 3D printing, folk traditional art, children's toys, creativity, variety
Production Technology: The candy 3D printer is mainly made of plastic material, natural color injection and matte surface.
The front window is made of transparent acrylic, and the window is opened by a spring switch to take away the finished candy.
The internal mechanical structure is the same as that of the traditional 3D printer, and the materials are all food-grade.
Inside, the granulated candy is heated and melted, and finally solidified and formed through the nozzle, just like a hot melt gun.
Design Challenge: How to absorb the advantages of traditional sugar blowers skillfully and in what form to realize them, the integration and trade-off between traditional Chinese folk art and modern technology is the most difficult point of our design.
Research: We studied the working principle of the 3D printer, the state of the sugar at different times when it was heated, investigated the color of the candy and the different shapes of the candy that the child likes, and developed and adjusted the APP.
Inspiration: The inspiration comes from the traditional Chinese folk art: "Sugar Figure Blowing Art". The children like the candy made by the artists very much. Due to the difficulty of making and the reduction of heirs, this art is gradually disappearing. We want to promote this through 3D printing technology. Interesting art has brought more children into contact with this traditional Chinese folk art and added fun to the children's lives.
Project Duration: The project started in April 2019 in Hebei and finished in February 2020 in Hebei China.
Operation Flow: The candy 3D printer has a total of three raw material tanks, which can be filled with three different candy raw materials. Through the APP operation, anyone can set the printing order, number, and size of the printed model. Different data models will also be displayed. The time and amount of raw materials required for different sizes. The overall image of the model tends to be cartoon.
