WHY 3D PRINT FOOD
3D Printing food opens up a world of design possibilities. A 3D printer builds up an object layer by layer, and this means that complex geometries and shapes can be achieved, that have not been possible using traditional methods. Personalization is a key benefit of 3D printing food items. New and unique designs can quickly and easily be programmed, without having to rely on moulds, cutters or shapes. This means more flexibility and room for creativity.
WHO CAN USE FOOD 3D PRINTERS
Food 3D printers are ideal for: Fine Dining Banquet Halls and venues Conference centres Catering (Upper End) Bakeries Confectionaries Any chef, pastry cook, chocolatier, cake decorator, Michelin star or aspiring Michelin star chef will find that a Food 3D printer is a valuable, value-adding tool to have as part of a kitchen line-up.
WHAT IS FOOD 3D PRINTING
Food in paste-form is inserted into a syringe and then extruded onto a surface, in layers, to build up a new 3D object.
HOW DOES FOOD 3D PRINTING WORK
The 3D printing process is a 4-step process. Firstly you create the 3D object with the use of either a design software or by using a 3D scanner. Then the software converts the object into a printable format, by ‘slicing’ it. This means that the objects is sliced into horizontal layers which the 3D printer will print. The sliced file is then sent to the 3D printer. This can be done via WiFi, LAN or with a USB stick. The print job can then start. Fill the sterile syringe(s) with the paste that you desire to print and ensure the nozzle is screwed on tightly. The FELIX Food 3D printer then automatically ‘homes’ the nozzle, to become aware of where it should print. This ensures that your printed layers start on an even and solid base are printed evenly all the way to the top of the object. Finally, and this is the easiest part – enjoy eating your finished creation! (And then repeat the process!) Before consuming, the printed object can be stored either in a heated or a cooled environment. The longevity of the printed object is dependent on the type of material used, as some have more firmness and retain their shape longer.
Until the Digital Age, typography was a specialized occupation. Digitization opened up typography to new generations of previously unrelated designers and lay users, and David Jury, head of graphic design at Colchester Institute in England, states that “typography is now something everybody does. As the capability to create typography has become ubiquitous, the application of principles and best practices developed over generations of skilled workers and professionals has diminished. Ironically, at a time when scientific techniques.
WHERE IS FOOD 3D PRINTING USED
Where is Food 3D printing used? Food 3D printing is relatively new in the food preparation industry, however it is gaining momentum fast. Large multinationals that supply food items to restaurant chains, hotels and retail outlets have started making use of this technology. This way of food preparation saves time and energy, as mass customization is becoming more popular today
WHAT CAN YOU PRINT WITH
Food types that are in a paste-like format can be 3D printed. The guidelines to consider are that it should be able to be extruded through the syringe and nozzle, and keep its shape after being printed. A heated or cooled environment can be created to aid in retaining shape. A multitude of food types can be used to 3D print with, including: • Vegetable purees • Fruit purees • Fats such as butter • Fruit purees • Chocolate • Avocado • Sugars such as marzipan and sugar icing • Soya • Seaweed and algae • Dough • Pasta dough • Egg white • Insects • Combinations of food types • And more...
