as further proof that you can now 3d-print anything, a company called natural machines has introduced a 3d printer for food.
最近一家名叫“自然机器”的公司称他们已有可以打印食物的3d打印机。这似乎是要进一步证明现在3d打印可以用于任何领域。
the "foodini," as it's called, isn't too different from a regular 3d printer, but instead of printing with plastics, it 1 2 ingredients squeezed out of 3 steel capsules: "it's the same technology," says lynette kucsma, co-founder of natural machines, "but with plastics there's just one melting point, whereas with food it's different temperatures, 4 and 5. also, gravity works a little bit against us, as food doesn't hold the shape as well as plastic."
at the web summit technology conference in dublin, the barcelona-based startup is showing off the machine, which it says is the only one of its kind capable of printing a wide range of dishes, from sweet to savoury.
"in essence, this is a mini food manufacturing plant shrunk down to the size of an oven," kucsma said, pointing out that at least in the initial stage the printer will be targeted mostly at professional kitchen users, with a consumer version to follow, at a projected 6 price of around $1,000.
in principle, the foodini sounds like the ultimate laziness aid: press a button to print your ravioli. but natural machines is quick to point out that it's designed to take care only of the difficult and time-consuming parts of food preparation that discourage people from cooking at home, and that it promotes healthy eating by requiring fresh ingredients prepared before printing.
nevertheless, the company is working with major food manufacturers to create pre-packaged plastic capsules that can just be loaded into the machine to make food, even though they assure these will be free of 7, with a shelf life limited to five days.
