3D chocolate printer


Choc Edge Ltd at UK is launching a commercial 3D chocolate printer. Lead scientist Dr Liang Hao, from the University of Exeter, founded the Choc Edge company to commercialise the device after interest from retailers. 3D printing using plastic, wood and metal is already widely used by industry to create objects ranging from jewellery and footwear to human bones. Dr Hao told the BBC that chocolate printing, just like any other 3D printing technique, starts with a flat cross-section image – similar to that produced by ordinary printers turning out images, and then prints out chocolate layer by layer to create a 3D shape, without any moulding tools. “We’ve improved and simplified the machine, so now it is really easy to use,” said Dr Hao. “You just need to melt some chocolate, fill a syringe that is stored in the printer, and get creative printing your chocolate.”

Four-Sided Panorama Compact Mirror


‘Four-Sided Panorama Compact Mirror’ is perfectly portable as its condensed size is pretty much exactly the same as any regular compact mirror, this accessory extends into four more mirrors that can be held to look at one’s pretty visage all the way from ear-to-ear or from forehead-to-chin.
It will make putting makeup on in the car a much easier ordeal and won’t have a lady thinking about ripping her rear view mirror out of its place. It is available for purchase at the Japan Trend Shop for $27 and can impressively replace the regular compact mirror without a problem.

The ‘Aureole Light’


The ‘Aureole Light’ designed by Yuxin Han is a single LED strip that’s accompanied by a ring diffuser, a power source and mirror with some support, all put together to form a amazingly futuristic and heavenly lighting unit. They can be hung from the ceiling in groups or just by themselves and the result will always be just as pleasing.
They blend well with any setting or can be used as a statement piece as well. The best feature of these lights is that they bring a sense of relaxation with them, for their design is purely angelic. Have one hanging above your bed so that every morning you’ll begin your day with a halo above your head.
