„Foodini“ machine lets you print edible burgers, pizza, chocolate
Dublin (CNN) — As further proof that you can now 3D-print anything, a company called Natural Machines has introduced a 3D printer for food.
The „Foodini,“ as it’s called, isn’t too different from a regular 3D printer, but instead of printing with plastics, it deploys edible ingredients squeezed out of stainless steel capsules: „It’s the same technology,“ says Lynette Kucsma, co-founder of Natural Machines, „but with plastics there’s just one melting point, whereas with food it’s different temperatures, consistencies and textures. Also, gravity works a little bit against us, as food doesn’t hold the shape as well as plastic.“
