3d Printing (With Food)
3d printing is no longer a new technology. With the advent of this technology, we’ve seen its rise in manufacturing industries and medical science, which is good, considering these are one of the most important fields of our time.
In conventional 2d paper-based printing, what a printer does is print with the help of an ink nozzle in a base or paper. 3d printing is just like that, but the ink is replaced with building materials like resin or plastic and is printed layer by layer on top of each other until complete model forms, just like building a house with layers of bricks. This is called additive manufacturing. There are other ways of 3d printing that are faster and efficient but that’s another topic.
As 3d printing is becoming more advanced and cheaper, it is being used increasingly in different domains like medical science, where prosthetics are being printed for amputees at affordable prices. Not only that, scientists are turning to 3d printing the functional organs (yes, the functional biological organs). Moving on from this, there’s another domain where the pioneers are starting out with 3d printing — Food Industry.
The food industry is one of the largest and probably the most important of all. Despite this fact, there’s a lot more to achieve in this industry, and fusion of technology seems to be a difficult task for scientists and engineers of…
