Today’s opinion piece offers a new take on\u00a0a cutting-edge\u00a0culinary trend.
\n3D printed food is a lie<\/strong>. Yes, a complete lie, and here\u2019s why: The <\/span>Foodini<\/span><\/i><\/a> claims to be able to \u201cprint\u201d edible burgers, pizza, and chocolate. And while I\u2019m sure it\u2019s able to <\/span>assemble<\/span><\/i>\u00a0foods, there should be no such thing\u00a0as “3D printed food.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re making cookies or even a plate of spaghetti with meatballs, you\u2019re already using additive manufacturing. You boil the pasta, put it on a plate and the place meatballs and sauce on the top. Making a hamburger? Combine the meat (or veggies), onions, cheese and whatever else goes into your beloved custom-made patty, and you\u2019ve \u201cadditively manufactured\u201d a burger. Then throw it on the grill and let it cook.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What the <\/span>Foodini<\/span><\/i>\u00a0and other so-called 3D food printers actually do is squeeze chocolate, sugar or whatever other cookable medium they\u2019re using out of an extruder, just layering it up to \u201cmake\u201d a design or plate. It\u2019s the exact thing you\u2019d do with your two hands.<\/span><\/p>\n

We think 3D printing is inherently interesting, too, but your great-grandma mastered 3D printing food every time she\u00a0made a layer cake. Let’s put that excitement where actual innovation is happening<\/a>: bioprinting, large-scale additive manufacturing, 3D printed metals…. Really anything else that’s happening in the world of 3D printing. I’ll be in the kitchen, additively manufacturing some pizza.<\/p>\n
