# 3D Chocolate Printers The choc mate 2 Prints All Types of Artisanal Chocolates By Elena Rahman | Published 2021-05-10 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-choc-mate-2 References: [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/chocolate3/choc-mate-2?ref=discovery_newest) & [choc-mate.de](https://choc-mate.de/) Designed by chocolate-branded company [Chocolate 3](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bhler-compactmix), the choc mate 2 works with real [artisanal chocolate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organic-chocolate-pieces) to [3D-print delicious treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multimaterial-3d-printer). To master the art of chocolate printing, engineers developed a system that is capable of handling any kind of chocolate, including white, ruby, milk, dark, vegan, and sugar-free. To do so, choc mate 2 functions with advanced temperature control for better artisanal results. This allows the choc mate 2 to appeal to individual chocolate needs. Food printing may seem far-fetched, but the choc mate 2 is the second generation of Chocolate 3's 3D chocolate printer. The upgraded machinery comes after three years of printer production. Designed with future upgrades in mind, this second-generation printer will allow users to update its software rather than having to replace the entire printer every few years. This makes for a more sustainable manufacturing process.
