The folks at Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories (what an awesome name!) has created what amounts to a 3D candy printer. Each creation is mapped out on a computer program, and then the fabricator (dubbed the CandyFab 4000) goes to work. It basically gets hot enough to fuse sugar together and forms instant sculptures.
Unfortunately, the sculptures aren’t really edible since the makers can’t say if the hot-air guns used to make the sculptures won’t contaminate the sugar. Bummer. (I think I still want one anyway!)

If it’s not really edible, then it’s not really candy. =[
