Windell Oskay, Lenore Edman and Chris Brookfield constitute the Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories, a collective of .. well, mad scientists who make some very cool stuff. In keeping to their open source code, they make their inventions available to the larger public via their website and flikr slide shows. In 2007 they started working on a DIY 3D printer that used sugar to make some the greatest rock candy the world has ever known.

It’s always best to test on white bread first.
The updated CandyFab 6000 now in Beta testing.
While it may look like some new superior form of breakfast cereal, the geometry above is made entirely out of sugar. Yummers!
Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories has also cranked some other printeresting project in the past. Here is just a sampling.
DIY stickers for organic farmers.
And the classic “Don’t Fear Art” bumper sticker.
