The Dutch company byFlow has been granted a patent for its 3D food printing technology with tempering function. This system enables the processing of chocolate.
The patented technology combines precise 3D printing methods with integrated tempering to achieve optimal results when processing chocolate. By precisely controlling the temperature during printing, the texture, gloss and stability of the printed products can be improved. According to the manufacturer, this is a decisive advantage for the production of personalized chocolate products and decorative elements.
Founded in 2015, the company has invested in research and development in recent years. According to byFlow, the patented technology is not only intended for individual use in the catering and confectionery sectors, but also offers potential for industrial applications. These include energy-efficient decoration processes and the automation of production processes, which increase efficiency and open up creative possibilities at the same time.
According to the company, recognition by the US Patent Office not only confirms byFlow’s innovative strength, but could also promote new partnerships and collaborations. Looking to the future, byFlow plans to expand its presence in global food technology.
