参加影视音乐互动大会(SXSW,译者注:每年在美国德克萨斯州奥斯汀举行的一系列的电影、音乐和多媒体交互式的节日)的人们已经习惯于看到不同寻常的事物。但是,这次是第一次:一台3D打印机生产出了糖果。这台机器来自3D打印设备的主要制造商3D系统公司(3D Systems Corp)。该系统至少从一月份就已经开始进行——3D系统公司和糖果制造商好时公司(Hershey)宣布了一项计划,制造生产食品而不是通常的用于制造项目的塑料、金属或其它材料的3D打印机。 People who attend the Interactive Video and Music Conference (SXSW) are accustomed to seeing unusual things in a series of annual film, music and multimedia interactive festivals held in Austin, Texas, USA. But for the first time this time: a 3D printer produces candy. The machine comes from 3D Systems Corp, a major maker of 3D printing equipment. The system has been at least since January - 3D Systems and candy maker Hershey announced a plan to make food, not the usual plastic, metal or other materials used to make the project 3D printer.
