GEMBLOUX, Belgium: Layer by layer, 0.2 millimetres at a time, a specialised printing machine at Belgian chocolate shop Miam Factory applies melted chocolate to shape a three-dimensional object. 

Miam Factory – French for "Yum" – was spun off three months ago from nearby University of Liege's Smart Gastronomy Lab, which researches technology in the food and beverages sector, and operates four specialised 3D printers.
