This is the 16575 early-stage startup selected by Lianyun.com.

"how to learn to draw flowers in coffee?" The number of views on this question has reached 386620 so far, and pulling flowers seems to be a problem that coffee lovers care about very much, but the reason for attracting so much attention is that pulling flowers requires constant practice to pull out a good-looking pattern. In Lianyun.com 's salon on the theme of "how to set sail with the wind" held by Lianyun.com and Wedo co-brand, Hundo Institute, an entrepreneur attracted the attention of Lianyunjun: Wang Chuanjian, co-founder of Chino flower machine.

Chino flower drawing machine is a coffee flower drawing machine that combines 3D printing and inkjet technology and is in mass production. Users simply put the coffee on the jacquard machine, upload any pattern they want through the mobile Wechat, and wait 20 seconds to get a cup of jacquard coffee with a custom pattern.

In fact, the flower drawing machine was designed and completed as early as October 2016, but the reason for mass production until recently, Wang Chuanjian said, has been iterative work such as product improvement, optimization and stability testing with the help of angel users. In order to give users the best experience and reduce the cost of maintenance in the future.

Lianyunjun learned that the team has actually adjusted whether it is the target audience or the final stereotype of the product.

The first is the target audience. The team first planned to launch the machine for the cafe until it took part in Shenzhen's mass entrepreneurship and innovation week in 2016, when relevant personnel of an airline approached Wang Chuanjian, saying that they might be able to apply the machine to their own cabin. to serve passengers in first class and VIP rooms. Although the partnership has not been finalized up to now, it shows him other businesses outside the coffee shop: for example, airlines, Lufthansa of Germany have purchased similar foreign products such as Ripple Maker;, star hotels, and... All industry companies with "VIPs". It is reported that at present, Tencent has become their customer.

The final finalization of the product has also experienced a transformation, which refers to the composition of Wang Chuanjian's team. A few years after graduation, Wang Chuanjian and another friend who liked 3D printing technology began to start their own business. because they loved it, they naturally chose the field of 3D printing. How to make better use of this technology, they chose "food" from clothing, food, housing and transportation, and subdivided it into the category of chocolate, that is, 3D printing chocolate. It's not that one of them has a special interest in chocolate, as Lianyunjun guessed, but chocolate is the most suitable for 3D technology. In the end, the transition to coffee flowers is their consideration that the slow speed of 3D printing chocolate can not bring the best experience to customers.

Wang Chuanjian told Lianyunjun that they are not only targeting at home, but also abroad, which is one of the major reasons why he participated in the "how to set sail with the wind" theme salon organized by Lianyun.com and Wedo, and discussed how to do well in this market with more partners or experienced people who are interested in facing overseas.
