ChocoDream: The World’s First 3D Chocolate Printing Pen

ChocoDream is changing how we play with chocolate—literally. Designed for creators of all ages, this innovative device lets you melt and sculpt real chocolate into 3D edible art, combining culinary fun with tech precision.

We caught up with the ChocoDream team to learn more about their journey from idea to invention. With intuitive controls, adjustable temperature settings, and compatibility with any chocolate bar, ChocoDream opens up a new world of DIY food creativity—for kids, families, and pro pastry chefs alike.

The Inspiration Behind ChocoDream

Michael (GizmoCrowd): What sparked the idea for ChocoDream? How did your team come up with the concept of combining 3D printing technology with chocolate artistry in a way that’s fun, creative, and edible?

ChocoDream Team: Our team has always been fascinated by the intersection of technology and art. We noticed that 3D printing was revolutionizing various industries, but there was a lack of accessible and fun applications in the culinary world, especially when it came to chocolate. Chocolate is not only a delicious treat but also a medium with unique properties that lend itself well to creative manipulation. We thought, why not bring the precision and innovation of 3D printing to the joy of working with chocolate? By combining these two elements, we aimed to create a product that would allow people to express their creativity in a new, edible way. The idea of ChocoDream was born out of a desire to make 3D – printed chocolate art accessible to everyone, from children to professional chefs.

How ChocoDream Works – From Chocolate Bar to Creation

Michael (GizmoCrowd): ChocoDream doesn’t require any proprietary chocolate or complex prep. Can you walk us through how users go from a regular chocolate bar to sculpting a 3D masterpiece?
ChocoDream Team: It’s really quite simple. First, users start with a regular chocolate bar. They break it into pieces and place them in the ChocoDream’s melting tube. The device then gently melts the chocolate at the appropriate temperature. Then the chocolate flows out and ready to create your masterpiece.

Designed for All Ages & Skill Levels

Michael (GizmoCrowd): ChocoDream is intuitive enough for kids and versatile enough for professionals. How did you balance user-friendliness and precision, and what makes it a great tool for families, home bakers, and pastry chefs alike?

ChocoDream Team: We focused on simplicity in the design process. For the user – friendliness aspect, we made sure that the controls are straightforward. For example, the interface has large, easy – to – press buttons and clear visual indicators. We also included step – by – step tutorials, both in the user manual, which are designed with simple language, making it easy for kids to understand. At the same time, to achieve precision for professionals, we used high – quality components in the extrusion mechanism. The motor that controls the flow of chocolate is highly calibrated, allowing for very fine adjustments in the amount of chocolate extruded. This balance means that families can enjoy a fun activity together, home bakers can add a new dimension to their creations, and pastry chefs can use it to create intricate chocolate decorations for their high – end desserts.

Temperature Control & Chocolate Compatibility

Michael (GizmoCrowd): With adjustable temperature settings (31–37°C) and speed control, users have full control over their designs. How important was this level of precision in making ChocoDream compatible with a wide range of chocolate types?

ChocoDream Team: Temperature control was of utmost importance. Different types of chocolate, such as dark, milk, and white chocolate, have different ideal melting and working temperatures. Dark chocolate, for instance, has a higher cocoa butter content and requires a slightly higher melting temperature compared to milk chocolate. By providing adjustable temperature settings from 31 – 37°C, we ensure that users can work with any type of chocolate they prefer. The speed control also complements this. A slower speed is great for creating detailed, fine – line designs, while a faster speed can be used for larger, more volumetric parts of the creation. This level of precision not only makes ChocoDream compatible with a wide range of chocolate types but also allows users to experiment with different techniques and achieve the exact results they want.

The Future of DIY Edible Creativity

Michael (GizmoCrowd): ChocoDream is poised to change how we interact with chocolate creatively. What’s next for your team? Do you plan to develop more food-based 3D tools, accessories, or an expanded creative suite?

ChocoDream Team: The future is very exciting for us. We definitely plan to develop more food – based 3D tools. We’re currently researching the possibility of creating a 3D chocolate printer that can work with other types of edible materials.

Michael (GizmoCrowd): A heartfelt thank you to the ChocoDream team for giving us a taste of your sweet innovation. Your passion for creativity and accessibility is clear in every detail. We’re excited to see how this delightful tool inspires edible artistry around the world. Wishing you great success in this deliciously creative journey!
