3D printing birth of a new dream-Pizza food into the most suitable for printing

3D printing birth of a new dream-Pizza food into the most suitable for printing 3D printing technology since last year is keeping subvert human imagination. By use of complicated "ink", 3D printer has finished printing all sorts of objects: from artificial ear to the parts, from heart valves to the building model ...... covering areas from health care to manufacturing, from conservation to scientific research. Recently, 3D printing has extended to the food industry. According to reports, NASA recently provided $ 125,000 funds to finance its six-month research and development program, 3D food printer.

3D food printer use disposable agglomerating 3d printing material forming technology, the principle is to make the carbohydrate, protein and other nutrients into powders, to be placed in a "cartridge" mixed with cooking oil. People can choose different "ink" according to their preferences, through the layering of materials, "print" kinds of foods with different taste. As nutrients dehydrated, these "cartridges" shelf life of up to 30 years, which fact, in a certain extent, to avoid waste. Currently, Pizza is the most suitable "print" food, because it has a unique layered structure, as long as put different ingredients on each layer, you can "print" out a fresh pizza.

3D printing technology has driven public attention. First, it makes people dream of space travel become closer - which is the main reason why NASA concerns the technology and gives funds . Humans in space in order to conduct more extensive travel must reserve enough food,but these foods can not occupy too much space and weight in spaceship. 3D food printing is expected to solve this problem, thereby supporting complete more challenging of human space exploration missions.

In addition, 3D food printing can meet a lot of personality. For example, according to different ages,it develop personalized nutritional supplements, and can become lazy and special populations to feed their bellies.

Of course, 3D food printing now is just a new thing. To spread, yet to break through a lot of difficulties. For example, 3D food printing low speed and high cost compared with the ordinary mode of production. This limits the 3D food printing to develop in batch, large-scale direction.

However, 3D printing technology is still attractive to create the dream of the food . Have a dream, only forward.
