If you fancy yourself a modern day Willy Wonka, then this machine that creates 3D printed gummies might be worth investing in. The world's first 3D gummy candy printer is called The Magic Candy Factory and debuted in Berlin at the Katjes Cafe Cafe Grun-Ohr. This allowed patrons to create their very own custom gummy candies.
The gummies are made out of a combination of veggie-based gelling agents and fruit and vegetable extracts. The all-natural result provides an alternative to traditional gummies, whose ingredient lists often contain a lengthy number of chemicals and other items the average person could only hope to pronounce correctly.
