3D Printed Gummy Candy Now Available in the U.S.

Following the opening of their Magic Candy Factory in Berlin, Dubai and Dublin, German candy manufacturer Katjes now makes its 3D printed gummy candy available in the U.S. by partnering with Dylan’s Candy Bar. 

Featured in select stores as of this months, the candy printer offers over 100 different designs to choose from, the ability to write names or special words, draw candy creations and print greeting on gummy cards to create delicious gifts. Moreover, the colour and flavour can be selected by the customer to create a unique combination for your personal sweet treat. The price for each print is $ 20.

The 3D printer based on FDM technology extrudes a special mixture of natural vegan ingredients through a nozzle to produce different shapes. The process for each print takes about 10 minutes, including 3 to 5 minutes printing time. Afterwards, customers can add “magical” finishes such as glitter, sour or fizzy dust.

While stores in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Miami are already offering the treats as of this week, customers will be able to get them online at DylansCandyar.com as from June 9th. Founded in 2001, Dylan’s Candy Bar is a chain of boutique candy shops and is owned by Dylan Lauren, daughter of fashion designer Ralph Lauren.

“Magic Candy Factory is an incredible innovation”, states Dylan Lauren. “Dylan’s Candy Bar has been excitedly watching the trends in candy personalization. We can’t wait to dazzle our customers with the magic creativity of Willy Wonka’s factory, merged with modern day technology!”

“The Magic Candy Factory is a one of a kind innovation and we are so excited to bring our 3D printed confections to the USA. I have been a fan of Dylan’s Candy Bar since I started in the confectionery industry 6 years ago,” says Melissa Snover, Managing Director of Magic Candy Factory. “Their incredible experimental retail environment and ‘customer comes first’ service make them the absolute perfect fit for the magical innovation we developed.”
