3D food printer is about to launch a kitchen revolution

In 2013, 3D printing was also a hot topic. Today, the tentacles of 3D printing extend to the food industry. Since the world’s first car manufactured using 3D printing technology in 2011 and the first 3D printing pistol launched at the beginning of the year, Spain’s startup company Natural Machines has launched Foodini, a 3D food printer.

Recently, the owner of Foodini, NaturalMachines of Spain, stated that the equipment is still in the testing phase, but it is also nearing the end. It is expected that it will be officially launched in the US in mid-2014 and will be priced at 835 pounds (about 8,000 yuan).

According to reports, Foodini can help you easily create delicious foods, such as hamburgers, pizza, pasta and a variety of cakes, it is a set of "technology, art and design" in one printer. The five capsules in Foodini can be used to store different ingredients just like ordinary printers with different color ink cartridges. The shape, size, and amount of food it produces are controlled by computers.

When using Foodini, you must first mix the fresh ingredients into a paste and put them into a capsule. Then just start by selecting the desired food icon on the control panel of the device. Foodini has six nozzles that can be used to create a variety of foods in different combinations.

In addition, users can use Foodini to independently determine the shape, height, and volume of food, not only to make flat biscuits, but also to complete chocolate towers, and even to complete cartoon characters on foods. However, this machine is not responsible for cooking foods. Users must cook the printed foods before they can enjoy them.

NaturalMachines co-founder Cuksma stated that Foodini3D food printers will overturn traditional cooking methods, just like microwave ovens set off a kitchen revolution. Although it is expensive, customers in more than 30 countries are currently interested in this machine. Moreover, in addition to ordinary consumers, even Michelin star chefs are prepared to start.

3D food printing technology raises concerns

First of all, it has made people's dreams of space travel closer. This is also the main reason NASA pays attention to the technology and grants it. If human beings want to carry out more extensive migration in space, they must stockpile enough food. The cost of spacecraft transportation also determines that these foods cannot occupy too much space and weight. 3D food printing is expected to solve this problem, and then help humans to complete more challenging space exploration missions.

Second, 3D food printing may alleviate the food deficit problem. According to the statistics of the United Nations, by 2050, the world’s population will increase to 9 billion, which means that more food is needed to feed almost one third of the population more than it is now. The problem of insufficient food supply in the future will be even greater. severe. The source for 3D food printing may be insects, or other things that humans do not currently eat, and the scope of human food acquisition will be expanded. This is a great change to the traditional way of food production.

In addition, 3D food printing can meet a lot of individual needs. For example, a personalized nutrition formula can be formulated according to different age groups, and it can become a lazy person and a special crowd.

At present, there are two major weaknesses in the development of 3D printing in China:

One is the limitations of consumables. At present, the supplies for 3D printing are very limited. The existing consumables on the market are mostly gypsum, inorganic powders, photosensitive resins, and plastics. If you really want to "print" cars and other complex products, relying on these materials is not enough. At present, there are too few companies producing 3D printing materials in China, and many metal materials, especially precious metal materials such as titanium alloys, mainly rely on imports.

The second is a shortage of talents. Education and training did not keep up. “At present, the demand for 3D application talents in the Chinese manufacturing industry is very large, and the gap is about 8 million people.” Lu Junshang, president of 3D Power Network and the National 3D Contest Organizing Committee, said that since 2008, we have held six consecutive sessions. In the national 3D competition, from the perspective of the competition, although students are very interested in 3D, many people stand out in the competition, but objectively speaking, there is still a gap between relevant 3D courses in universities and the most advanced 3D technology in the world. There is still a gap between the demand for 3D education and enterprise applications in colleges and universities. Many people are still at the very basic stage of understanding 3D.

"In order to allow more 3D talents to grow rapidly, we gather and integrate 3D technology teaching resources at home and abroad, and set up an online education platform "3D-e education." All those interested in 3D can independently study on this platform. Learning in the game.” Lu Junshang said, “We also formed the “3D Special Forces Training Camp” and selected and trained a group of high-end 3D application talents nationwide to carry out intensive training. The results are very good.”

The 3D printing technology is becoming a global technology competition, affecting the improvement of independent innovation capabilities and the transformation and upgrading of the entire industry. Experts such as Lu Junshang believe that the state should strengthen top-level design and overall planning, incorporate the 3D printing industry into the priority development industry directory, and strengthen the cultivation of 3D talents in universities and the whole society, and strive to be the upper reaches of 3D core technologies. At the same time, we will build a 3D printing industry organization as soon as possible, actively organize the development of relevant standards and industrial policies, and promote the accelerated development of the entire industry.
