And while having a delicious 3D printed sugary delight is one treat, just imagine if it were combined with another indulgence we all secretly love and often are quite prolific in creating on our own en masse–the selfie. If these are a couple of life’s small pleasures that you enjoy, then the services offered by Candy Mechanics should have you jumping up and down on your bed with delight, one arm pumping overhead in epicurean victory and the other holding a 3D printed candy on a stick.
Founded recently by Londoners Sam Part and Ben Redford, they are on a self-professed and very noble mission to see that candy-eating tech lovers everywhere have the dubious distinction of saying that they ate their own faces. Imbued with a deep passion for “making ridiculously awesome stuff,” the Candy Mechanics team is now just about to launch their first run of numerous delectable flavors. As part of the seven-member Makerversity popup in London at Selfridges, composed of three teams (see video below), the duo completed a six-week ‘trial by fire’ creation of their line of 3D printed candy.
If you are hungry, this next part might get you in some high-caloric trouble. If the stomach’s rumbling and the wallet’s opening, you’ll have to literally ‘head over’ to Candy Mechanics to order a taste of the following in your likeness:
- Freeze-dried raspberry and salted pistachio
- Lemon and biscuit crumb
- Salted corn and chocolate crumb
- Peanut and chocolate crumb
- Banana and salted peanut
- Freeze-dried raspberry and black sesame seed
Orders are required to be for at least 100 3D printed candies, and they can be prepared for large events like weddings, parties, office events, and more. Candy Mechanics can also take into account varying dietary requirements as well as some, ahem, more xxx requests.
