Emergence of Food Printers-3d printing is a form of object creation technology where the shape of the objects are formed through a process of building up layers of material until all of the details are in place a relatively slow process often requiring hours to complete.
Three-dimensional printing makes it as cheap to create single items as it is to produce thousands of items
Look for continuing progress in the area of 3d food printers, even though the Jetson s style food synthesizers may still be a few years off.
and the demand for printer-produced products will skyrocket. The trend will be for these worker-less workshops to enter virtually every field of manufacturing,
and maintain the next wave of this technology. 13. 3d Food-Printer Engineers Pushing the envelope for 3d printer technology even further,
will be the coming age of food printers. Converting 3d printers to work with cartridges containing food-stocks will prove difficult and demanding on a number of levels.

This is the promise of food printer technology as we move from simply printing ink on paper
to 3d printing of parts and objects, to next generation food printers. These aren t the artificial food devices that science fiction movies have been promising.
Stereolithographic printers remain one of the most accurate types of hardware for fabricating 3d objects.

Yanko Design s prototype for the Electrolux Molã culaire food printer The brilliant thinkers at Yanko Design have developed a new device called the Electrolux Molã culaire,
a 3d molecular food printer that relies on the experimental molecular cooking technology. New designs for printed food The Molã culaire is based on the same layer-by-layer printing technique that arranges small particles from a set of ingredients.
Within minutes, it prints out three-dimensional desserts, complex structures, shapes for molecular dishes, and patterns for decorating a meal.
Food printer technology is clearly a quantum leap forward. In the future, we will only be consuming food that our body has a positive reaction to.

so here are some examples of starting points designed to begin the conversational thread of situational futuring. 1. 3d Ice Printers A 3d printer designed to work exclusively with ice could be used to make ice sculptures, ice containers, ice cubes with your favorite liquor inside

On a television screen smartphone or the result of an inkjet printer pixels are arranged that absorb red green and blue from white light in combinations that produce a color image.
Printing food seems more like an idea based in Star trek rather than in the average home.
Researchers at Cornell pioneered some of this work adapting an open source extrusion printer called the Fab@Home Lab to work with food in 2007.
Various chocolate printers are on the market and for Valentine s day in Japan this year you could order chocolate made from a 3d scan of your face.
In 2007 Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories introduced the Candyfab 4000 a DIY printer based on a modified selective laser sintering technique.
The Sugar Lab had adapted 3d Systems'Color Jet Printing (CJP) technology to print flavoured edible binders on a sugar bed to fabricate solid structures.
The netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific research (TNO) announced they ll build printers to reassemble pureed food to look like the original think 3d printed broccoli florets from pureed broccoli.
TNO has targeted printers for nursing homes in order to help elderly people who have chewing and swallowing problems.
Beyond medical conditions TNO has proposed printing customised meals with varied levels of the basic food components like carbs protein and fat for everyone from seniors to athletes to expectant mothers.
In this area one of the most interesting and perhaps controversial areas is the debate about printing meat.
Industrial scale printing of meat could additionally use cells grown in an algae-based cell culture
Whether the technology can truly move from the novelty sector will most likely depend on the ability to process a wider range of foods requiring influence from both the kitchen and from printer developers.
Conservatree estimates that it takes about 24 trees to make one ton of non-recycled printing paper

more sophisticated printers advances in regenerative medicine and refined CAD software. To print the liver tissue at Organovo Vivian Gorgen a 25-year-old systems engineer simply had to click run program with a mouse.
They resembled cheap desktop printers because in fact that's what they were. In 2000 bioengineer Thomas Boland the self-described grandfather of bioprinting eyed an old Lexmark printer in his lab at Clemson University.
Scientists had modified already inkjet printers to print fragments of DNA in order to study gene expression. If an inkjet could print genes Boland thought perhaps the same hardware could print other biomaterials.
After all the smallest human cells are 10 micrometers roughly the dimension of standard ink droplets.
He then glued a thin black silicon sheet onto blank paper and fed it into the printer.
and his team had reconfigured a Hewlett-packard Deskjet 550c to print with E coli bacteria. Then they graduated to larger mammalian cells farmed from Chinese hamsters and lab rats.
In 2003 Boland filed the first patent for printing cells. While Boland's lab worked out the problem of bioprinting other engineers applied 3-D printers to different medical challenges.
They printed bone grafts from ceramic dental crowns from porcelain hearing aids from acrylic and prosthetic limbs from polymer.
So Boland and other bioprinting pioneers modified their printers. They disabled the paper-feed mechanisms in their inkjets
It was like magic says James Yoo a researcher at the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine who is developing a portable printer to graft skin directly onto burn victims.
The advantage of the printer is that you can deliver cells more accurately and precisely.
A printer that can dispense the right ink in other words is only the first step. Cells have specific requirements depending on the tissue they're destined to become.
So as mechanical engineers began to build early 3-D printers tissue engineers tried growing replacement organs in a lab. They started by pipetting cells into petri dishes by hand.
Researchers soon adopted 3-D printers to make scaffolds more precisely. But manually placing the cells onto them remained a time-consuming and arduous process.
They also designed one printer to create both the synthetic scaffold and tissue in one fell swoop;
The magic he says happens after printing has taken place. Therein lies the biggest misconception about bioprinting:
Another key lies in printing cellular aggregates. You will never build an extended biological structure a big organ
Organovo's researchers have made relatively robust vasculature by printing filler such as hydrogel among tubes of tissue cells.
and upload the design to a 3-D printer. There is no medical equivalent. An MRI doesn't tell you where the cells are says Lipson.
Scientists at MIT have built miniature liver models using micropatterning the same soft lithography technique used to put copper wires onto computer chips.

With new printers, classrooms will go 3-DA 3-D printer might be coming to your local elementary school.
moving from 2-D printers that yield items to be folded into 3-D objects to 3-D fabricators that create 3-D physical objects.
How do 3-D printers work? Lipson: The 3-D printer is a machine that makes physical objects on your desktop.
For example, if you have an ink jet-printer printer, it makes an image by spitting out droplets of ink onto a piece of paper.
Imagine an ink jet-printer printer that instead of droplets of ink spits out droplets of plastic. It basically creates a thin sheet of plastic.
It then goes up a tenth of a millimeter and prints out another sheet of plastic.
it's something you can pick up out of the printer, for example, a cup you could go drink some water with.
Who uses 3-D printers now and do you expect they'll become more mainstream?
Why do you want to bring these 3-D printers to the classroom? Lipson: When you look at what made computers transition into the homes,
 We do research on printers that can print with multiple materials. We also built an open-source kit that will allow people to build these at home for a very low cost, about $1, 000.
How will the students use the 3-D printers in the classroom? Bull: Producing and creating customizable manipulatives like base 10 rods, fraction cubes,
when teachers use the Fab@School 3-D printer to make characters and objects in books that students use for story retellings,
What are the challenges of bringing 3-D printers into schools? Bull: While the technology is in emergent state
