A system for making a three dimensional ice sculpture has a movable print head and fan mounted in a refrigerated enclosure. The print head has an inlet connected to a source of chilled water and can spray dyed or undyed water at a platform. A controller can move the print head and regulate its water outflow. A fluid can be discharged into the sprayed water at a temperature that accommodates ice formation. The sprayed water forms successive layers that freeze.
