I want one. 3D fab where you can just eat your mistakes, awesome!
Reading the page made me hungry though, I think I'll go make some CNC toast.

Interesting. They don't seem to mention their technique for putting new sugar layers down, which is the real key to getting this to work. For any accuracy you need nice flat layers of identical depth.
Building custom chocolate shapes sounds like a fun idea.

From the sounds of it, the added layers just happen when it gets lowered and the sugar flows into place. With the resolution they're going for, I don't think they're too concerned with making perfectly flat layers of identical depth.
