3D Food printing

Kjeld van Bommel

Introduction to 3D (food) printing

Rapid Manufacturing (3D printing)

3D printing allows the layer-wise building of a structure directly from a

3D computer drawing using computer-controlled additive fabrication

techniques without human intervention.

3D printing is a collective term for a large number of different

technologies, each based on different principles and materials.

Why print food?

Personalized food & well being

ingredients, composition,flavors, shapes, size

health/medical, lifestyle, (dis)likes

Alternative ingredients

proteins from algae, grass,lupine seeds, beet leaf, insects

create tasty, structured foods

Convenience

freshly prepared food when you want it

“personal chef + microwave”

Design freedom & new foods

innovative shapes, textures, flavors, etc.

new product concepts, fun!

Social experience

social media supported recipes and cooking

“pre and post fun”, communities

?Flexible, decentralized

production

freshly prepared food where you want it

local, efficient production
