\"Pizza\"<\/div>\n

Could you imagine serving a 3D printed turkey for Christmas lunch? Or munching on a 3D printed pizza for an afternoon snack?<\/p>\n

This is not as far fetched as it sounds. While 3D printers have mainly been in the news for their ability to manufacture inedible goods<\/a>, they are increasingly being used for culinary endeavours.<\/p>\n

3D food printers extrude soft liquid edible matter through nozzles that build up layer by layer in patters directed by a computer program. They can pump out everything from to chocolates, confectionery, biscuits and pancakes, to pasta, pizza and other savoury snacks.<\/p>\n

News reports and industry blogs are very positive about what 3D food printing can offer<\/a>. They have covered such events as Michelin-starred chefs<\/a> experimenting with 3D food printers in pop-up restaurants in Europe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The media have also reported on the potential for 3D printing to cater for astronauts<\/a>, air travellers<\/a> and people in emergency situations<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nursing homes in Europe are offering 3D printed food<\/a> with jelly-like texture for residents with chewing and swallowing difficulties. Developers of 3D food printers<\/a> claim that people will soon have these devices in their kitchens, helping them prepare tasty and healthy foods at home.<\/p>\n
