Chocolate 3D printer for commercial use.
The choc mate 2 is a 3D printer for cho-
colate or couverture with a print area of
340x232x160mm.
It has a heatable print head with two tempe-
rature control circuits. The printer also has a
heated preheater for preparing another car-
tridge. In the Z direction, the minimum layer
structures and very smooth surfaces can also
be printed. In the X-Y direction, a resolution of
approx. 0.1 mm is achieved. The actual accu-
racy when printing chocolate depends largely
on the chocolate used, the temperature and
the ambient conditions.
An integrated print server with a 4.3“ touch
display makes it possible to operate the prin-
ter independently. Due to the network inter-
faces, the printer can also be operated with
the help of a browser.
We clearly point out that the system must not
be operated unattended.
Any additional devices must be matched to
the main unit (if you have any queries, please
contact the manufacturer).
