3D Printed Food ?

It is a known fact that the development of 3D Printing technology & printers plays an important role in creating applications for fields such as Aerospace, Medical, Industrial design, fashion, footwear, jewellery, food and many other industries.

This technology which runs on Computer Aided Design is now widely used in food industry which is expected to have a major breakthrough in producing perfect food and many companies are already working on 3D Printing Techniques & printers to make it easier to prepare good food. The Food printer manufacturers are looking for better opportunities in creating edible food such as confectionery, pizza, nugget etc...By second half of 2014 we can come across printers which can produce candy out of sugar in many flavours & shapes, cake toppings & garnishes using a home computer. The technology has developed in such a way where the user can select the recipe they want to print, and then load in ingredients and hit print. At present 3D printers proves to be very promising but a lower price is mandatory to make them attractive for the market. Even the famous space agency NASA is in the process of exploring the possibilities of using 3D Food Printers on deep space mission. It is expected that in near future many of us will have a 3D printer in kitchen where we can just create food from basic powdered ingredients.
