It’s Alive! 3D Systems Partners With CSM To Bring ChefJet 3D Food Printer To Market | The Spoon. When 3D Systems signaled an entry into the 3D food printing market with the acquisition of Sugar Labs in 2013, many in the world of tech got excited. And why not? Not only was this a sign that one of the 3D printing world’s biggest players was about to throw its weight and resources behind perhaps the most underdeveloped category in 3D printing, but is also meant that we’d maybe soon have cool stuff to print at home other than cheap plastic.
And at first, the company’s early moves only fed the excitement of foodtech and 3D printing enthusiasts around the world. By the next year they’d announced the ChefJet Pro, and soon they were at CES in 2014 printing out confections and talking up a 2015 ship date. But before long, the enthusiasm faded and signals that ChefJet’s development was stalled became more and more frequent. The answer looks like yes, but not without a little help. From the release: What does this mean? “Our partnership with CSM is focused on bringing the ChefJet Pro to market. 5 Machines for 3D Printing Cutting-Edge Cuisines. These days it’s tough to find an industry that isn’t experimenting with 3D printing, and the food industry is no different.

To get this working on your printer you’ll need to purchase his controller board. He offers two versions: one with specific parts for printing in color, or another for printing in food safe materials. This may be messy and it may be difficult to install, but it is definitely incredible and we would love to see what people make with it!
This 3D Printer Uses Sugar to Create Glass-Like Sculptures. When the MIT Media lab released the gorgeous video of their glass 3d printer, they sparked something in the mind of Victor Leung. He was so inspired that he went on to create this fantastic printer that uses sugar as the raw material, melting it and laying it down in structures that look very similar to glass. This molten sugar 3D printer designed by Victor serves no practical purpose other than printing colorful sculptures.
The sculptures are way too unhealthy to eat, spontaneously melt in high humidity and attracts unwanted insects. However, it’s true purpose is the educational experience for students to explore the technology that enabled 3D printing in detailed depth. Understanding the complexity of CNC controlled robotics and fascinating material science that allowed us to appreciate the 3D printer as a marvel combination of the two science. I asked Victor a few questions about this project.

[via BBC] 3D-printing restaurant is a first in culinary history | George Herald | Garden Route. How 3D printing is shaking up high end dining. Paco Perez is experimenting. The chef has won several Michelin stars for his restaurants. At one of them, La Enoteca at the Hotel Arts in Barcelona, he is busy creating a new dish.
He places a plate inside a strange-looking machine that looks a bit like a large microwave oven. He touches the controls, and a few minutes later, removes the plate, which is now decorated with a delicate, flower-like design. Next he adds more ingredients: caviar, sea-urchins, hollandaise sauce, egg, and a "foam" of carrot. He calls his creation "Sea Coral". "It's as if we were on the sea floor," he explains. The centrepiece of the dish, the "coral," is made of a seafood puree in an intricate design that would have been extremely difficult to produce by hand.
Mr Perez is delighted with the results and the capabilities of the machine. "It's very interesting what today's technology is contributing to gastronomy" he says. Elaborate designs "The other reason is automation", she says. Growing market. Dinner in 3D. Hod Lipson: Digital Food —Video by Jane Nisselson We’re all accustomed to having appliances on our kitchen counters, from toasters and blenders to coffee makers and microwaves. If Mechanical Engineering Professor Hod Lipson has his way, we’ll soon need to make room for one more—a 3D food printer that could revolutionize the way we think about food and prepare it. Over the past year, Lipson and his students have been developing a 3D food printer that can fabricate edible items through computer-guided software and the actual cooking of edible pastes, gels, powders, and liquid ingredients—all in a prototype that looks like an elegant coffee machine.
“Food printers are not meant to replace conventional cooking—they won’t solve all of our nutritional needs, nor cook everything we should eat,” says Lipson, a pioneering roboticist who works in the areas of artificial intelligence and digital manufacturing.
