An additive manufacturing system for printing a chocolate confection, the system comprising a platen, a print head, and a cartridge configured to be removably secured to the print head, wherein the cartridge contains a supply of the chocolate material.

대표청구항 ▼

1. A method for printing a chocolate confection, the method comprising: installing a cartridge to a print head of an additive manufacturing system, wherein the cartridge comprises a compressible reservoir containing a supply of a chocolate material;heating the supply of the chocolate material in the installed cartridge to an extrudable state;compressing the compressible reservoir in a direction along a vertical axis to extrude the heated chocolate material from the installed cartridge onto a platen of the additive manufacturing system to build at least a portion of the chocolate confection using a layer-based, additive manufacturing technique, wherein all supplied amounts of the chocolate material in the cartridge are extruded from the cartridge prior to the chocolate material thickening past a viscosity threshold of the chocolate material. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein heating the supply of the chocolate material in the cartridge comprises directing heated air to the cartridge. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein cartridge further comprises a pair of thermally-conductive plates, and wherein the compressible reservoir comprises a compressible tube disposed between the thermally-conductive plates. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein heating the supply of the chocolate material in the cartridge comprises heating the thermally conductive plates to heat the compressible tube. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the compressible reservoir comprises a compressible bellows reservoir. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein all of the supplied amounts of the chocolate material from the cartridge are extruded by about 50 minutes or less from heating the supply of the chocolate material in the cartridge to the extrudable state. 7. The method of claim 1, and further comprising: removing the installed cartridge from the print head after all of the supplied amounts of the chocolate material are extruded from the cartridge; andinstalling a second cartridge to the print head, wherein the second cartridge contains a second supply of the chocolate material. 8. The method of claim 1, and further comprising moving the platen in at least five degrees of freedom while extruding the heated chocolate material from the cartridge. 9. A method for printing a chocolate confection, the method comprising: installing a cartridge to a print head of an additive manufacturing system, wherein the cartridge comprises a compressible reservoir containing a wrapped portion of a chocolate material, the wrapped portion having an aperture in one end;heating the wrapped portion of the chocolate material in the installed cartridge to an extrudable state; andcompressing the compressible reservoir in a direction along a vertical axis to extrude the tempered chocolate material from the wrapped portion onto a platen of the additive manufacturing system to build at least a portion of the chocolate confection using a layer-based, additive manufacturing technique, wherein all supplied amounts of the chocolate material in the cartridge is extruded from the wrapper and cartridge prior to the chocolate material thickening past a viscosity threshold of the chocolate material. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the wrapped portion of a chocolate material comprises a commercially-available chocolate candy bar retained its wrapper. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein the aperture in the wrapped portion of a chocolate material comprises a slit. 12. The method of claim 9, wherein the cartridge further comprises a pair of thermally-conductive plates, and wherein the wrapped portion of the chocolate material is compressible between the thermally-conductive plates. 13. The method of claim 9, and further comprising: removing the cartridge after the wrapped portion of the chocolate material has been extruded; andinstalling a second cartridge to the print head, wherein the second cartridge contains a second supply of the chocolate material. 14. A method for printing a chocolate confection, the method comprising: installing a removable cartridge to a print head of an additive manufacturing system, wherein the cartridge comprises a compressible tube and an extrusion tip secured to the compressible tube and the compressible tube containing a supply of a chocolate material;heating the supply of the chocolate material in the compressible tube to an extrudable state;extruding the tempered chocolate material from the compressible tube onto a platen of the additive manufacturing system to build at least a portion of the chocolate confection using a layer-based, additive manufacturing technique, wherein all supplied amounts of the chocolate material in the compressible tube is extruded from the tube prior to the chocolate material thickening past a viscosity threshold of the chocolate material. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein heating the supply of the chocolate material in the tube comprises directing heated air to the cartridge. 16. The method of claim 14, wherein the cartridge further comprises a pair of thermally-conductive plates, and wherein the compressible tube is disposed between the thermally-conductive plates. 17. The method of claim 14, wherein all of the supplied amounts of the chocolate material from the tube are extruded by about 50 minutes or less from heating the supply of the chocolate material in the cartridge to the extrudable state.
