Chocolate printed selfies!

Who hasn’t taken a Selfie yet? And who doesn’t love chocolate? So what about combining both things? What about your very own edible version of yourself?

The future of 3D printing still remains pretty thrilling but never more palatable than last month at Harvey Nichols’ fifth floor, where you could print your very own chocolate selfie.

The concept was the result of a collaboration between Rococo Chocolates, the award-winning British luxury chocolate brand, and iMakr, a British 3D printing firm, and the process was simple: Customers stepped inside the printing booth for a 5 minute scan, then waited for 10 days to get their own mini-you chocolate version gift-wrapped and delivered at home.

Behind-the-scenes, the iMakr specialists printed out a plastic model of either a bust or full figurine, after which a food-safe silicone mould of a body or head was cast from the scan, and melted Rococo chocolate was poured in and cooled.
