The Hershey Company, in partnership with 3D Systems, this week announced the December 19 debut of its 3-D Chocolate Candy Printing exhibit at Hersheys Chocolate World Attraction. Consumers will have the opportunity to interact with Hershey scientists and the breakthrough technology.
We are now using 3-D technology to bring Hershey goodness to consumers in unanticipated and exciting ways, said Will Papa, Chief Research and Development Officer, The Hershey Company. 3-D printing gives consumers nearly endless possibilities for personalizing their chocolate, and our exhibit will be their first chance to see 3-D chocolate candy printing in action.
On December 19, visitors to Hersheys Chocolate World Attraction will have the opportunity to witness live 3-D printing, see examples of finished products, interact with a library of 3-D graphics pre-loaded on iPads and be scanned to see what they would look like as a piece of 3-D chocolate. The 3-D chocolate printer on display at Hersheys Chocolate World Attraction is the most advanced model in operation today.
We are committed to democratizing 3-D printing, making this game-changing technology accessible and engaging for everyone, said Chuck Hull, Founder and Chief Technology Officer, 3D Systems. Our partnership with Hershey, the largest producer of quality chocolate in North America and a global leader in chocolate and confections, allows us to create unique, exciting and personalized edible experiences, and this is a great way to showcase the power and possibilities of 3-D printing.
