Home 3D Food Printers
The possibilities of a 3D printer are almost endless. With its help, prostheses, weapons, vehicles and other very useful and technological objects are created. According to most films, our future is scary and wonderful at the same time. What will we see? What do we do? What will we eat? Since microwave radiation has been emitted to many of us, we have been constantly inventing new ways of cooking.
Now that the world has learned about 3D printing, it is natural that this technology will be used for cooking and make this process easy, or at least more fancy. If you believe the Star Trek movie, then 3D printing will be the only way to cook food in 2,000 years.
Recently, we could not imagine the existence of luminous sneakers with auto-lacing, as from "Back to the Future", and today we have the opportunity to try food from the printer. Just yesterday we learned how to print on disks and photocopied our body parts, and now we are ready to eat technological cuisine.
Modern technologies have made human life much more pleasant, comfortable and easier. Now you can spend more time with your family, have a good time and just have a hobby. You can print any dish, the main thing is to calculate the proportions and add the necessary ingredients. In fact, this is the same printer in which many printed diplomas, only instead of ink it uses food ingredients.
Restaurants that only cook with 3D printers already exist! Food Ink opened in London.
The owners are sure that the technology helps to save food and not produce unnecessary meals. The menu includes "Flying Caviar", "Caesar's Flowers of Life", "Mystery Shrimp" for $330.
3D food printing is one of the most desirable applications for 3D printers.
In early 2012, Essential Dynamics announced the world's first 3D food printer Imagine Machine. The printer went on sale in 2012 at a price of $3,000. The second generation of food 3D printers is now available on the manufacturer's website for a price of $3795.
A unique novelty - the Foodini device is a real breakthrough in the market of electronics and home appliances. A 3D printer prints not text or objects, but real food.
There are no analogs to such a device in the world yet, so its price is very high. The printer is equipped with Android system and connected to WI-FI. The display size is 7 inches. The device allows you to download various recipes from the Internet and view them.
A food printer costs about a thousand US dollars.
The smart machine is able to print pizza, pastry and bakery products. It is also possible to print complex dishes: ravioli with various fillings, for example.
How does the machine work? All the ingredients necessary for preparing the dish are placed in special containers that will be used in the food printing process. You don't need cartridges as such. Foodini prints various dishes, but you also have to participate in the printing process. Now the developers of the model are raising funds for the full-fledged production of such machines. It takes around $100,000 to get started, and nearly half of that has already been raised.
What is the main difference between Foodini and Imagine Machine
The former is essentially a household appliance for cooking using 3D technology, and the latter uses food products in the design of the print material. There are also a number of differences in the complex systems, software and user interface.
Potential buyers of such a device are always busy people, catering companies, restaurants and confectionery cafes The developers are sure that their products will be in demand: now the layman will spend less personal time preparing complex dishes.
Moreover, cleaning the kitchen after cooking will take a minimum of time. The development of unique recipes is carried out by chefs who have several top culinary awards.
The main idea that inspired the creators of the Foodini food printer is a healthy lifestyle and adherence to the principles of proper nutrition.
Homemade food, which is prepared from natural products, affects health much better than the daily absorption of fast food and semi-finished products of dubious quality. The task of such a printer is to facilitate the process of preparing dishes such as dumplings, pizza, shaped cookies, and the like. The printer will extrude the dough onto the moving platform.
The printing technology used by Foodini is FDM, that is, materials are superimposed in layers. The liquid material is placed in five capsules, each of which can contain a different material, and it can be squeezed out with different intensity and temperature. Mass for printing can be prepared using a mixer or blender.
After printing, the dish can be heat-treated: pizza will only need to be placed in the oven, after sprinkling with grated cheese, or dumplings, which will only need to be thrown into water and boiled. The touch screen will help you understand the printing process, which will demonstrate all the capabilities of the printer in full, as well as provide recipes for dishes that you can cook using a unique machine.
Chocolate Printer
Food is printed in layers by baking or cooling. Modern food printing allows you to work in the following areas: print with sugar syrup, print with chocolate, print pancakes or ice cream, print cheese and pasta. It is worth noting that you can print chocolates, but you will have to melt the chocolate for them yourself.
What are the models of food printers?
Digital Chocolatier : as the name suggests, the main ingredient of the capsules will be melted chocolate. It has the form of a carousel platform, with containers.
The platform cools the layers of chocolate and forms a three-dimensional image or candy.
Layer-by-layer printing with chocolate is complicated by the fact that liquid hot chocolate hardens slowly, and the figure must go through several stages of coating with melted chocolate mass. Such a car costs about 3,000 English pounds. It is called the miracle of technology Chock Edge Creator V1 .
Cornucopia : Prints dishes with multiple ingredients. The platform can both cool and warm dishes - that is, there is no need for additional preparation of printed food. The same applies to the tubes through which the mass flows.
Digital Fabricator : you put nutrients into the extruder and the mixer shapes them according to the recipe.
Cornell : Any liquid or semi-liquid product can be used. The basis is a culinary syringe.
ChefJet . Creates sweets by mixing powdered natural food coloring, alcohol and water.
Printers of this type will be excellent helpers for professional bakers, confectioners and those who often work with shapes and inscriptions made of various types of chocolate. To make it easier to work with a complex apparatus, the creators have built in the recipe book The Digital Cookbook. Such a machine will be able to print chocolate sweets with the taste and smell of vanilla, mint, apples or cherries. The starting price of such a printer is about 5 thousand dollars. Advanced Model ChefJet Pro creates colorful sweets with combined flavors. The price of the device is 10 thousand dollars. The apps work on both Android and iOS systems. The user selects a recipe on the touch panel, and the printer will tell you which crushed ingredients to load into which capsule. Food printer specifications: Print area dimensions: 25.0 cm W x 16.5 cm D x 12.0 cm H. Weight: just over 10 kilograms. Touchpad: 7 inches running OC Android. Internet connection support: Wi-Fi module. Rotary glass platform: diameter 26 cm.
Capsules: 5 capsules with different fillings can be placed in the printer at the same time. The printer uses only one capsule at a time. Capsules are automatically replaced. The material from which the capsule is made is at the choice of the consumer. It can be steel or safe and high temperature resistant plastic. The capacity of the capsule is a little over one hundred milligrams. The total capacity of 5 capsules is 615 ml.
The British have developed a device that prints raspberries for breakfast for children The author of the development, Vaiva Klnikite, says that natural raspberry juice, calcium, which helps strengthen bones, and sodium alginate solution, which forms a thin film of gelatin, are used in the process. thanks to which the product is formed faster and easier.
Printed raspberries look a bit like red caviar. To taste, a healthy breakfast really resembles raspberry marmalade and smells exactly like this berry. With the help of natural food dyes, you can change the color and taste of the finished product.
The creators admit that in the process of testing the device, they once received a square blue berry that had the taste and smell of a banana.
The goal of the developers is to expand the boundaries of human touch. The printer is similar to the replicator machine that appears repeatedly in one of the popular TV shows. Also, a team of scientists involved in the development of devices for cooking healthy food, are struggling with the problem of cancer and diabetes.
As part of the project, a team of scientists is working on an analysis of the diet of the average citizen, and is looking for ways to make food and the cooking process the most useful and simple. Scientists are sure that each of us individually lacks nutrients and trace elements. A “nutrition dossier” will be developed for each person.
The prospect is very encouraging - the company plans to create a scanner that will analyze the general condition of the body and suggest which foods are best included in the diet.
The microwave ovens familiar to all of us are gradually, right before our eyes, becoming a thing of the past.
Barilla, the maker of the highest quality Italian pasta, recently announced that it plans to equip its chain of restaurants with a 3D printer over the next few years.
What is the essence of the innovation? A guest, a visitor to an establishment, makes an order, and the food is prepared literally within a couple of minutes.
The project will be prepared in cooperation with TNO Eindhoven. Kjeld Van Bommel, project curator for TNO, confirmed that they have been working with Barilla for two years to bring the idea to fruition.
Several printers have already started working in catering establishments, and work is underway to improve the taste of the produced pasta and the technical characteristics of the device.
Barilla is one of the world's leading pasta producers. By using 3D printing technologies in the production process, they have become even more popular and are absolutely confident that 3D printing will soon become mainstream.
The main thing in such technological processes is the high speed of cooking. The undoubted advantage of such printing of food products is that the paste can be given absolutely any shape - the widest field for creativity opens up Van Bommel, one of the immediate project managers, says: “Modern technologies have significantly expanded the possibilities of design art and embody the most daring individual wishes of the customer .” So, a person can please a loved one by ordering pasta in the form of a bouquet of roses in a restaurant.
At the moment, such models as "Rosa Pasta", the author of which was the designer from France Lori Tupin, have gained particular popularity. Pasta is made in the form of a flower, which opens during the cooking process. Danilo Spiga and Louis Fraguardo developed the Vortipa concept, which resembles a tartlet. "Lune" was invented by the Italian Alessandro Carbine. In this case, the craters will need to be filled with traditional tomato sauce.
3D printing technologies are already being used to create parts for various mechanisms, bridges and even entire houses.
But the technology seems to have much more potential, and it could be used in the food industry. At least that's what scientists at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem think, who created the first 3D food printer capable of printing food.
According to the inventors Odeda Shoseyov and Ido Braslavsky, the manufacturing process of such printers is not that difficult, and it may take no more than 5 years to enter the mass market. Their 3D food printer uses nanocellulose, proteins, fats and carbohydrates as raw materials. Right now, the printer can only print dough, but the researchers say their printer is capable of more.
Scientists have been studying nanocellulose for several years and came to the conclusion that the enzymes of the digestive tract easily digest this substance, and nanocellulose itself does not cause any adverse reactions. In the future, experts will mix nanocellulose not only with nutrients, but also with vitamins, trace elements and antioxidants. Under the influence of temperature from the printer's laser, the nanocellulose binds the ingredients.
At the same time, laser processing allows you to give the printed dish a more “traditional” look.
According to the inventors themselves, their development is quite promising. In addition to its use in cooking, it will help those who adhere to a strict diet - diabetics, vegetarians, professional athletes, allergy sufferers, and so on. In general, all those to whom the presence of certain substances in food can be harmful to health.
During the Experimental Biology 2018 conference, South Korean scientists presented a very unusual development, which in the future claims to be an integral part of the household equipment of an apartment.
3D printing technologies have either already occupied certain niches, or will occupy them in the coming years. There are a lot of applications for the technology - from the construction of space stations and lunar bases, to the printing of human organs, however, the development of a group of scientists from South Korea is a little more mundane.
We are talking about 3D printing of food.
The device is capable of reproducing the physical properties of food products, and most importantly, their nanoscale texture. To work, the printer uses powder ingredients obtained by grinding nutrients, primarily proteins and carbohydrates, at a temperature of -100 degrees Celsius. Then the resulting powder under the influence of water, high pressure and temperature turns into a porous film.
The advantages of the device can hardly be overestimated. Firstly, it allows you to print food according to individual preferences, including taking into account the peculiarities of the metabolism of a particular person. According to scientists, the device even allows you to regulate the speed of digestion, which means the ability to create the most healthy food. Secondly, the device will seriously reduce the cost of food delivery, as well as their storage, which can solve the problem of hunger for many people, especially given the forecasts of scientists who predict the growth of the world's population to 10 billion people in 2050.
