For the most part, 3D printed cookie cutters are food safe because they are not in contact with the cookie dough for very long and because the cookie is baked after it is cut, which kills any bacteria.
How long does it take to 3D print a cookie cutter?
cutters on draft at about 20-38 minutes. High quality I’ve seen go as long as almost 2 hours for a large cutter.
Are old cookie cutters worth anything?

Is PLA harmful to humans?
In fact, Polylactic Acid (PLA) is biodegradable. It is often used in food handling and medical implants that biodegrade within the body over time. Like most plastics, it has the potential to be toxic if inhaled and/or absorbed into the skin or eyes as a vapor or liquid (i.e. during manufacturing processes).
Is PLA food safe for cookie cutters?
If it’s one-time-use, both ABS and PLA are perfectly safe for use as a cookie cutter. The “food safety” of 3D printed parts is fairly controversial. In fact, whether any particular material is approved by regulators (such as the US FDA) for food contact is much more complex than most people realize.

The cutters we make are to be washed by hand only in warm soapy water and are not dishwasher safe. Putting the cutters in a dishwasher could melt, warp or otherwise damage the PLA. Hot water is the enemy of plastic cookie cutters.
How do I make a cookie cutter for 3D printing?
Yes, you read that right there is a program specifically for creating cookie cutters for 3D printing. Go to Drag your black and white image onto the web page and give it a little bit of time (it never took very long for me, seconds, not minutes). By default, the app creates an outline cookie cutter as shown below:
How to make 3D cookies in AutoCAD?

The COOKIECAD program automagically recreates the cutter using the internal white areas to create cutout areas and create raised areas for the rest of the interior space. Depending how thick you want your cookies to be you can adjust the height of the outline.
Is 3D printing with PLA safe for cutting cookies?
From what I have read PLA (Polylactic Acid), a common 3D printing material, is food safe for limited contact like cutting cookie dough. Additionally, it has been suggested that using “natural” filament (filament without and pigments or additional additives) is best, so for my cookie dough examples that is what I have done.
