| Recently, a graduate student at Tokyo Institute of Technology in Tokyo modified a desktop 3D printer that uses ice cubes to print small structures and shapes that use liquid HFC gas to instantly freeze the water that the nozzles extrude.  For the cold winter, people may not be interested in 3D printed ice cubes, but in the hot summer, 3D printed ice cubes may become the favorite 'fragrant tea', and it is reported that the project is still in the research stage. The 3D printer was a delta structure that was modified to extrude water through an airbrush and to extrude HFC gas through a second airbrush instead of heating plastic filaments through the nozzle. HFCs used in refrigeration systems are gases that chill water immediately even at room temperature. (It should be noted that natural gas is a recognized greenhouse gas.) Hiroki Fujita, a graduate student at Tokyo Institute of Technology, Has been engaged in the development of the 3D printer. Hiroki Fujita is not sure about the application of his ice-making technology for 3D printing, but we are sure to see its potential for use in cooking, which was recently proposed at a Japanese master's thesis conference at Hiroki Fujita The eyes of the water into ice, and attracted the attention of people.
