About Candy कैण्डी-त्रिविमीय-मुद्रकयन्त्रम्

कैण्डी बालानां कृते गृहोपयोगि एकं त्रिविमीयं मुद्रकयन्त्रम् अस्ति यत् मिष्टान्नकणेभ्यः खादनीयानि आकाराणि मुद्रयति। इदं यन्त्रं चलदूरभाष-उपयोजनेन (mobile application) नियन्त्र्यते, येन मुद्रणक्रमः, प्रत्येकस्य प्रतिरूपस्य संख्या परिमाणं च निर्धारयितुं शक्यते। त्रयः कोष्ठाः त्रीन् भिन्नान् मिष्टान्नस्वादान् धारयन्ति, अतः एकस्मिन् एव मुद्रणे स्वादः वर्णश्च संयोजयितुं शक्यते। कणाः उष्णीक्रियन्ते, द्रवीक्रियन्ते, नालिकाद्वारा च आकारं प्राप्नुवन्ति। यन्त्रस्य कायः मन्दप्रभया सतहया युक्तात् प्लास्टिकात् निर्मितः, पूर्णनिष्पन्नं मिष्टान्नं निष्कासयितुं च स्प्रिङ्ग-स्विचेन उद्घाट्यमानं पारदर्शकम् अक्रिलिक-गवाक्षम् अस्ति। इदं रूपकल्पनं चीनदेशस्य लोककलायाः "शर्करामूर्ति-फूत्करण"-कलायाः प्रेरणया प्रेरितम् अस्ति।

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

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.
