Scientists Working On 3D Food Printer | 3d food printer

Scientists at Cornell University's Computational Synthesis Lab are developing a 3D food printer, as part of the Fab@home project. It uses raw food 'inks' that are fed into the printer and once you load the recipe and press the button, voila! "You can imagine a 3D printer making homemade apple pie without the need for farming the apples, fertilising, transporting, refrigerating, packaging, fabricating, cooking, serving and the need for all of the materials in these processes like cars, trucks, pans, coolers, etc," . An electronic blueprint states exactly what materials go where and are drawn up using traditional engineering computer-aided design (CAD) software.
