The Japanese medieval castle shown in the image is actually made out of an ice cube. It was 3D printed by a Japanese advertising agency for Suntory Whiskey.
“3D on the Rocks by SUNTORY is the world’s first 3D-milled ice cube to enjoy whisky in your desired shape.”

Simply astonishing. I knew that they could do almost anything with these 3D printers…but not icecubes. Interesting to say the least!

I believe they used a 3D printer with the cube of ice as the “paper”… 🙂

I think of printers as using heat and the ice cube has really thrown me! Nah, I’m not an engineer! 😆 This is so amazing. I love it!

Same her, Linda. I find it “impossible” at first since the ice cube will surely melt. Really amazing!

Wow! We have something called SocialIce where I live every winter. It’s comprised of local artists creating ice sculptures and bars the serve adult beverages. I am always impressed, but an ice cube, that’s just awesome!

Yes, indeed… And they used a 3D printer to mold it. But I still go for the ice sculptors because they do it by “hand”. 🙂

Yup, and they’ve done so many… This is also the first time I’ve seen a 3D printed material using ice cubes. What’s next? Maybe a grain or rice? 🙂
