Characteristic

 

This product device is developed to address the challenges associated with shape formation in consumer food printing applications, while also providing an additive manufacturing solution for foods that require heating during the printing process. Therefore, the modular nozzle sleeve system serves as the core technology of this invention.
The technology adopts a programmable control module and is divided into two main components: hardware and software. The hardware side utilizes a microprocessor-based design capable of receiving signals transmitted from computer software and outputting temperature measurement data. The system must properly regulate voltage to control the heating rod operation, measure real-time temperature conditions, and transmit the current values back to the software interface.
On the software side, the system is required to provide real-time temperature tracking and control of the heating mechanism. The dynamic heating function allows users to input temperature parameters and apply PWM-based control to target cooling fans. Through the integration of the heating rod and fan control system, combined with the physical properties of the material, the device can achieve stable object printing performance.
The modularized product system includes a software interface, a hardware control board, and a nozzle module.

In the chocolate manufacturing process, silicone molds are commonly required to shape the products. These silicone molds typically rely on metal molds for mold opening and production. Considering a single small-scale mold set, the production cost may range from approximately NT$300,000 to NT$800,000, in addition to the minimum order quantity (MOQ) required for initial manufacturing.
Such a production model is suitable for mass manufacturing; however, for small-batch customized demands, the extended equipment developed in this invention can significantly reduce mold-related expenses. Based on the customized design requirements of a single business operator, the system can save at least NT$300,000 in mold development costs. If widely adopted and promoted, the value-creation potential could expand proportionally on a much larger scale.
