For those who want to take their [baking](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-pastry-project) to the next level, CookieCaster is a new platform that can help users create [3D printable cookie cutters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/makerworld-cyberbrick). With the ability to create any shape imaginable, the platform provides a fun way for consumers to give ordinary kitchen tools a high-tech upgrade.

CookieCaster is an online platform that can be used to design 3D printable files. Users start with a blank canvas and then begin drawing whatever shape comes to mind. For the less artistically inclined, the platform includes a trace feature that can be used to replicate different designs. Once finished, users simply download the 3D file and they will be able to print a model of their [custom cookie cutter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seasonal-cutout-cookies) at home. For those who don't have their own 3D printer, files can be sent to a company called 'Shapeways' that will do the printing for them.

The service gives consumers a fun way to experiment with DIY 3D-printed projects without the need to use complex software or tools.
