3D printing with Food

Food 3D printing is an exciting domain in additive manufacturing, aiming to print eatable products through the 3D printing mechanism. Meat printing, cake printing, coffee printing, and chocolate printing are some of the existing applications of this technology.

The working of a food printer is similar to a filament printer. The difference between them is the feeding mechanism and the printing material. In the process of food printing, an excluder is used to print the food ink on the print bed. The excluder is moved in three directions with the help of the stepper motors and controller. The printing material is specially designed food ink which is printed on a print bed for solidification. All the materials used in food printing are food-grade, and preservation methods are used to prevent degradation during and after printing.
