A machine with 3D printing technology can print images on the coffee surface. Images can be taken from Ripples’ library, or customers can submit a photo from their camera roll which will be transformed into foam
Now, a new system named Ripple Maker, could allow anyone to print complicated designs on their lattes and cappuccinos. The technology works by combining 3D printing technology with an ink-jet system that prints out natural coffee extract, called Ripple Pods.
Users can choose designs through the Ripple app, such as inspirational messages and images of their loved ones. Images can be taken from Ripples’ content library, or customers can submit an image from their camera roll which will be transformed into foam art at the venue.
