3D printing device and method for cakes

Abstract

The invention discloses a 3D printing device and method for cakes. The printing device comprises a feeding mechanism and a printing mechanism. The feeding mechanism comprises a plurality of material cylinders, a stirring cylinder communicated with the material cylinders, spiral stirring blades arranged in the stirring cylinder and an air pump used for driving materials to enter the stirring cylinder from the material cylinders. The printing mechanism comprises a printing head communicated with the discharging end of the stirring cylinder, a tray horizontally arranged below the printing head, a first stepping motor, a second stepping motor and a third stepping motor, wherein the first stepping motor and the second stepping motor drive the printing head to carry out transverse reciprocating motion and longitudinal reciprocating motion in the same plane respectively, and the third stepping motor drives the tray to carry out vertical reciprocating motion. The printing method comprises the step that internal patterns and external mounting patterns of cake blanks are drawn through cooperation of the feeding mechanism and the printing mechanism. According to the 3D printing device and method for cakes, internal forming of cake blanks and subsequent mounting pattern processing can be achieved through the relative movement of the material cylinders, the printing head and the tray, operation is simple, the manufacturing cost of cakes is reduced, and different individualized demands can be met.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to cake 3D printing technology, in particular to a cake 3D printing device and printing method. Background technique [0002] Traditional cake making is time-consuming, laborious, and the shape of the cake is the same. It is difficult to meet the diverse needs of consumers. For specially customized cakes, it often requires a professional mounter to shape the cake, which is not only time-consuming, but also expensive. Expensive, and because it is purely handmade, the shape of the cake is uncontrollable. At present, 3D food printing technology can realize the production of chocolate, pancakes, biscuits and other foods, but there are few 3D printers for cakes, ice cream and other foods, and the existing 3D food printers are not high enough to stack food, and it is difficult to achieve three-dimensional modeling. The flat pattern is mainly, and the three-dimensional modeling in the strict sense cannot be realized. In the future, 3D ...
