Choc Edge provides our users with access to web-based apps for creating simple text and downloading templates in STL format. These tools have proven useful in helping new users to understand and practice the STL > G-code conversion process, which plays an important role in creating your own designs.

MIX & MATCH

The basic 2D/2.5D STL template library

The Choc Edge MIX & MATCH app is an enhanced version of the CHOC TEXT app which enables users to not only generate simple text but also match it to a selection of pre-rendered 2D/2.5D designs. MIX & MATCH acts as the Choc Edge basic 2D/2.5D STL library which contains 50 templates that can be downloaded in small, medium and large sizes. Although this app uses pre-rendered templates, the ability to customise them is the first step for a novice towards creating their own designs.  

• Access 50 2D/2.5D designs in 3 sizes [Templates in STL format]
  
• Combine different designs [Place 3 x small templates on the canvas]
  
• Add text to existing designs [Experiment with customizing]
  
• Choose from a range of themes [Quick access to seasonal designs]
  
• Practice the STL > G-code slicing process
• Simple enough for children to use

CHOC TEXT

Quick rendering of basic 2D STL text

CHOC TEXT is a simple app that enables the conversion of a name, word or short message into an STL file. Once downloaded, the file can be opened in ChocPrint and a G-code suitable for chocolate printing can be generated. The results can be printed onto flat substrates such as chocolate bars or icing sheets. Due to its simplicity, this app has proved popular at events when quick text rendering is required.

• 3 different fonts
• 3 different sizes
• Add multiple words
  
• Simple enough for childen to use
• Practice the STL > G-code process

CHOC DRAW

2D single-line drawing/doodling app

CHOC DRAW is available to customers with Android tablets and enables 2D freehand drawing/doodling which is instantly converted into a G-code. Using a stylus, the user can draw on the canvas to create a unique design which can be printed instantly by sending the G-code to the printer wirelessly. To help users create more controlled designs such as portraits, it is possible to import photos and images into CHOC DRAW for manual tracing, and the artwork created can be saved as a G-code for future use. Using single-line printing technology rather than the standard STL format, CHOCDRAW is ideal for events, educational activities, and users who want to create artistic chocolate designs with an intentional hand-drawn look.  

• Android OS [Best suited to large 10.1 inch devices]
• Print drawings/doodles onto flat substrates or icing sheets
• Manually trace photos to create caricatures
• Quick-fire tool with preset parameters : No STL, No Slicing 
• Simple enough for childen to use
