Printing synthetic food that looks “real” is dificult to do. Printing fake
fruits and vegetables is even harder. The challenges of printing food that's fresh
or natural are similar to those faced by medical researchers trying to print
living tissue. Nature-made foods are made of a complicated blend of chemicals
and other materials whose design and composition exceed the technologies
we have currently available.
The killer app for 3D printing
3D printing food will change the way we eat and how we manage our health.
When digital cuisine is as widely accepted as personal computing is today, our
refrigerators will hold cartridges of frozen pastes of dark chocolate and pesto
chicken. Amateur bakers will download a cake recipe and print out a one-of-
a-kind scrumptious pastry whose complexity rivals one made by a virtuoso
chef. Home food printers will have settings to allow cooks to select a food's
texture, crispness, and perhaps write a custom message inside that will be
revealed at irst bite. Lovers or family members in distant locations will share
a recipe for the same cake which they will print and eat together while they
spend time on a webcam.
