1. Explain the process of making the 3D chocolate heads.
First, they scan your face.
Second, they 3d print it
Third, they create a plastic model with the 3D printed
Forth, they full fill the plastic model with your favorite chocolate
After a few minutes in the fridge, you can eat yourself.

2. What do you think of this start-up company?
I think they have a good idea but maybe it is difficult to grow because the 3D prints are not too expensive, neither the technology and the technique for having the final product is too difficult. Therefore, any chocolate, pastry company could do it.

3. What is your opinion of 3D printing? Do you think it has its own limitations?
I believe it is a very good technology for some industries like medicine or architecture. On the other hand, I think the main limitation could be the scan process because at the end, you need to start from a real thing to create a new one, not being able to create something from scratch.
4. If you were throwing a party, would you give out chocolate heads as sweets or souvenirs?
I think so. It could be funny, for instance, for a 50th birthday party.
5. Would you like a candy version of yourself on a stick?
Yes, I’d like it. As mentioned before, it could be a present for a special occasion.

You are doing a good job continuing with this writing exercise.

Here is a sentence that can be revised:

I think they have a good idea but maybe it is difficult to grow because the 3D prints are not too expensive, neither the technology and the technique for having the final product is too difficult.

I think they have a good idea, but maybe it is difficult to grow because the 3D printers are not too expensive, neither the technology and the technique for producing the final product isn’t too difficult.

Until your next entry!
