How To (and how not to) Laser Cut Chocolate

https://imgur.com/CV6yAQe.gif

I'm back! After a bit of a respite from posting (because I ran out of projects to share), I recently got myself a nice cheap Chinese laser cutter. So I can work on projects again!

My latest project was figuring out how to laser cut chocolate well enough that you could build models out of it, which I did figure out!

So how do you do it? It took me quite a few tries (7 to be exact) before I figured out a way that I was happy with. Below, I will detail the process that you can go through to successfully laser cut chocolate.

![Attempt7__2.1.1.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVjDj1UH3jr2AVBfLobKtPRAK4oWuvCCjGhWY3wn7v4LZ/Attempt7__2.1.1.png)

When preparing the file that you will cut:

-Be aware that there is a limit to how small you can cut pieces. The smaller the piece, the less detail you will be able to cut, and more of the piece will be out of temper (which means it will be harder to work with when assembling because it will have a lower melting temp). The smaller parts of the dinosaur model that I cut were about the limit that I could work with any reliability at all.
-Be aware of lines that are close to each other, as heat from the laser will melt an area, and can affect how the other line(s) will cut. For example, the teeth in the mouth of the dinosaur were pretty melted because of all of the lines in close proximity.

When preparing the chocolate to be cut

-Wax paper works great for creating the sheets of chocolate, as it helps you flatten it, and also serves as a (decent) protective buffer when laser cutting. It also helps hold in the shape of the chocolate when laser cutting. But it can be a pain to peel off.
-Tempering the chocolate doesn't help when laser cutting but it does help when you handle it afterwards. The easiest way I found to create sheets of tempered chocolate, was to have chocolate chunks that are already tempered, and then microwaving it until just melted, which will keep it in temper (you can find basic instructions in the steps above or better instructions elsewhere online).
-Adding a thickener like starch is basically necessary for laser cutting. This increases the viscosity of the chocolate and will help produce cleaner cuts. I found that 1 teaspoon of starch per 50 grams of chocolate was about the minimum that produced clean cuts for me.
-In general, the darker the chocolate, the better it will naturally cut.

When laser cutting the chocolate

-Somewhat counter-intuitively, I found that cutting slow worked better than cutting fast. I believe this worked because it burns the edges of the chocolate/starch mix, preventing flow, and any flow that does get into the cut is pushed out because the laser was moving slow enough.
-The settings I used for my 50 W laser cutter were 5 mm/s at 20% power.

When assembling:

-The edges are out of temper, and so needs to be treated with care (it will have a tendency to melt in your hands). Assembling in a cold environment helps with this.
-You can use melted chocolate to help weld pieces together. And if a piece breaks, you can try to weld it back together using melted chocolate.

And a final important question that should be answered. How does it taste? If you're eating along the edge, you can taste the burned parts, and it reminds me of burnt chocolate chip cookies. So while not wholly unpleasant, laser cutting does negatively affect the taste of parts of the chocolate.

And that's how you can laser cut and build a model out of chocolate. That is, until it falls over...

Thanks for reading! If you're interested in learning more about this, you can also find instructions on [my post at Instructables.com](https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-and-How-Not-To-Laser-Cut-Chocolate/) and also in the video I made below.

Glad you and your son enjoyed it! And I would be thrilled to have my post featured by curie. You are free to quote text and feature images, and I included a statement below with a brief background of me, and the content that I hope to share if you want to use it:

I'm a recent graduate with a degree in mechanical engineering, and I enjoy using the skills that I have learned to work on DIY projects. I work on all kinds of projects, but I particularly enjoy those that involve using a laser cuter. I hope to not only share the cool projects that I work on, but also give a step by step tutorial on how you can make them too.

That's awesome. I wouldn't normally ask how much things cost, but everyone on this site seems very transparent so I hope you wont mind. What's the price range like on the laser cutters? Like what would be cheap and expensive?
Also, does your laser cutting program just automatically fit all the pieces its going to cut into the most optimal usage of space on your material, or do you have to set that up yourself? ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUyaxsreMCF3j1V7ZpuboynBfM5wJHa5d7njsVPdV3gi2/image.png)

Scrolling through the comments after I left mine, I see you posted the model you have for around $1700 thank you.

Yes, the cost was about $1700 for the laser cutter, plus the potential for a couple hundred more for some add-ons like a pancake air compressor (because the air compressor that came with my laser cutter didn't work), an ammeter to measure current, and a temperature sensor to measure the temperature of the water, or a water cooling system that cools your water reservoir.

The chinese laser cutter does not optimally fit the pieces together, that's something that you have to do yourself. The software that comes with the laser cutter is a little odd, so it takes some getting used to (there is also open source laser cutting software available).

I would hesitate to recommend a Chinese laser cutter just because they're inherently pretty dangerous, and you have to know what you're doing around them. But they are unparalleled for what you get for the cost, so they can definitely be worth it.

What’s the lasercutter you are using? Can it also cut more serious stuff ?

I am using a 50 Watt Chinese laser cutter. You can see the specific model [here](https://www.ebay.com/itm/60W-CO2-USB-Laser-Engraving-Cutting-Machine-Engraver-Cutter-Woodworking-Craft/162100238982?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649). And yes, it can cut more serious stuff; I've had this cut up to 1/4 inch birch plywood, which is about the limit that it can cut cleanly.

Love it. This looks awesome... but now I feel like chocolate. The dinosaur is very cool @fisherck

Glad you enjoyed it! It was a lot of fun figuring out how to laser cut chocolate. You can potentially make some pretty cool things with it.

Chocolate dinosaurs...

*after failing to eat his screen or the dinosaur within it, does the only reasonable thing and mashes the follow/like buttons till they break*

\\\*O*/

You just got yourself a new fan !

Of course, you cheated, employing one of my greatest weaknesses ! 
You dastardly fiend XP

Where ever did you get the *amazing* idea to laser cut chocolate ?

IT makes me wonder if, when I get my MIGO 3D printer (and it's laser cutting module) I can do something similar...


*Mmmmm chocolate*

Thanks, and glad you liked it! I don't know what strength laser the cutting module has for the MIGO 3D printer, but it's quite possible you will be able to cut chocolate as well. The key for you might be that you will need to cut pretty slow, just to give it enough time to melt through the chocolate as it's cutting.

I actually got the idea to do this from a contest put on by Instructables.com, which was themed "The Science of Cooking". I wanted to do something related to laser cutting, and after thinking about it decided that chocolate would probably be one of the coolest things that you could cut. It took some trying, but I got it to work!

It's certainly a delicious idea !

We'll see once I get it.

Won a pre-order for a MIGO in a 3d design competition back in December, but the orders are probably going to go out towards August (*cries in anticipation*), so I've got some waiting to do XS
