Now, a 3D printer to print out your food

A team of researchers at the Columbia University, or CU, has been developing a prototype 3D printer designed to print edible creations using a variety of pastes, gels, powders and liquid ingredients. It clearly is meticulously crafted computer software with the purpose to cook within the printer itself.
Speaking about this, the researchers said, We`ve been cooking forever and we want to help reinvigorate the area. But if you think about it, while technology and software have wormed their way into almost every aspect of our lives, cooking is still very, very primitive – we still cook over an open flame, like our ancestors millennia ago. So this is one area where software has not yet permeated. And when software touches something, it takes off. Our device is designed to open up possibilities of all kinds of food we eat. It will obviously make preparing meals easy and even help people manage dietary requirements. Food printers are not meant to replace conventional cooking – they won`t solve all of our nutritional needs, nor cook everything we should eat. But they will produce an infinite variety of customized fresh, nutritional foods on demand, transforming digital recipes and basic ingredients supplied in frozen cartridges into healthy dishes that can supplement our daily intake.
