3-D Edible Geometric Forms’ Chefjet and Chefjet Pro are the world’s first 3-D food printers that were presented at the Consumers Electronic Show in Las Vegas. This fascinating technological application illustrates the ability to create multiple supplies of specific goods in unique 3-D structural forms.

The printer is roughly the size of a countertop and can be used with many different flavored materials that range from vanilla to watermelon. The 3-D food printers should be available later on in the year; Chefjet printer is approximately under $5,000 and has the ability to produce only monochromatic colored goods, while Chefjet Pro, roughly under $10,000 can produce multicolored goods.

3-D Systems’ Creative Director of Food Products, Liz von Hasseln, states about the product that “ The machine uses an ink jet print head that’s just like the one you would find in your desktop 2D printer. It spreads a very fine layer of sugar then paints water onto the surface of the sugar, and that water allows the sugar to recrystallize and harden to form these complex geometries.”

The product allows bakers to experience the benefits of printing edible geometry that also has the potential to provide them with different applications to complement their baked goods.
Anastasia Andreieva is an accomplished Architectural Projects Editor at Arch2O, bringing a unique blend of linguistic expertise and design enthusiasm to the team. Born and raised in Ukraine, she holds a Master’s degree in Languages from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. Her deep passion for architecture and visual storytelling led her to transition from translation and editorial roles into the world of design media. With a keen eye for conceptual clarity and narrative structure, Anastasia curates and presents global architectural projects with precision and flair. She is particularly drawn to parametric and digital design, cultural context, and emerging voices in architecture. When I’m not analyzing the latest architectural trends, you’ll probably find me searching for hidden gems in cityscapes or appreciating the beauty of well-crafted spaces. After all, great design—like great connections—can be found in the most unexpected places. Speaking of connections, because architecture isn’t the only thing that brings people together.
