The Foodini 3D Food Printer

There have been several attempts at 3D food printing, ranging from experimental to limited commercial units, most of which have disappeared. A new venture, the Foodini, might change that pattern. 

The Foodini is an extrusion-based device, unlike the powder-based ChefJet machines from 3D Systems. It uses pressure to push food pastes through an extruder onto a plate. 

Fortunately, Foodini does not provide pre-made food “material”. The machine includes five empty cartridges into which you load your own food. Of course, the food must be transformed into an extrudable paste first, perhaps by cooking or blunt mashing. It’s then extruded appropriately according to the 3D model being printed.
