Sweet Robo has launched ChocoPrint, its first 3D chocolate printing system, extending its automated retail platform into on-demand, personalised confectionery.


ChocoPrint enables the live printing of chocolate shapes, designs and custom logos, allowing vending machines to produce made-to-order products rather than pre-packaged items.


The system is designed to integrate with Sweet Robo’s existing robotic vending infrastructure, giving operators and brand partners a way to add personalisation without increasing staffing or operational complexity.


The company says the technology supports "higher-fidelity branding" than previous approaches, with logos and bespoke designs printed directly in chocolate. This capability is being rolled out across Sweet Robo’s wider machine portfolio, enabling more consistent personalisation across different automated formats.


Sweet Robo currently operates more than 1,300 robotic machines across 25 countries, primarily in entertainment venues, retail destinations and other high-traffic locations. The addition of ChocoPrint reflects a broader shift in the company’s strategy, positioning automated vending as an experiential, interactive format rather than a purely transactional one.


With ChocoPrint, Sweet Robo is targeting operators and brands seeking to combine automation with customisation, using robotics to deliver personalised products at scale.


Beyond confectionery, Sweet Robo has been expanding its scope within automated foodservice. In 2025, the company partnered with RoboBurger, adding freshly prepared hot food to its portfolio as part of a wider push to scale robotics-led food and beverage concepts.
