byFlow, an Eindhoven-based 3D printing company, has received a US patent for its 3D chocolate printer. Since its founding in 2015, the company has focused on researching and developing 3D printing technologies for food.
“When we got the news, we were in a meeting with the team, and I got a little angry with Floris because he was looking at his phone distracted the whole time. When I asked him what he was doing, he looked at me and said that after 7 years, we finally got it together. We gave each other high-fives and cried some happy tears. After many hours of research, engineering, experimentation, and headaches – getting an IP is not easy, and you need a lot of patience – I am so incredibly happy that we got this through with the team and that we can finally celebrate this big milestone,” said Nina Hoff, CEO of byFlow, on LinkedIn.
“Looking ahead, we see limitless possibilities: from crafting personalized chocolate experiences and scaling energy-efficient decoration processes, to unlocking new industrial applications that streamline production and drive innovation in unexpected ways,” the company posted on LinkedIn.
