New 3D prototype has been made by Janne Kyttanen, it is capable of printing pasta, breakfast cereal and burgers to demonstrate advances in 3D printing and how it could transform the way we eat. There have been chocolate printed. In order to show that it is possible to print food, some samples of 3D models in plastic were made of pasta and burgers. It is only a matter of time before technology enables us to print molecule in combinations that produce tasty meals. So far the 3D printers that we have today only enable us to solidify matter. It’s just atoms and molecules and with a better advanced technology, we will be able to just move molecules or move atoms. However we are still far away from 3D printing burgers at home. It will be an amazing feature that we will be able to have and make because it will be fast and everything will be on a computer. Food is the next generation in 3D printing. So far the pasta isn’t made of pasta but of plastic, and the point of this was to show people that it is possible. Printing in chocolate is already possible. There is also creativity involved in the 3D printing of food, because once it will be possible to actually print using food, people can be creative and print all sorts of things. The time where 3D printing food will be mainstream depends on what kind of financial push it is given.
