Food printing could be the next thing in high-end restaurants. Here’s how one of our users achieved 3D printed food with a robot, and how you can do the same.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

At first glance, 3D printed food might seem quite an impractical application. 3D printing takes ages, doesn’t it? It can take hours to print even a tiny object. Who has the time to wait hours for a robot to print you a pizza!?<\/p>\n

And yet, 3D printed food is becoming quite popular. It allows chefs to make complex and intricate food shapes like never before. You can even 3D print food with a robot, as one of our RoboDK users did.<\/p>\n

It looks like 3D printed food will be part of the future of high-end gastronomy. According to the annual 3D Printing Conference, supermarkets are already testing 3D print customized cakes and restaurants are offering 3D printed desserts. People have successfully 3D printed a whole range of different foods,<\/a> including mushroom, chocolate, red pepper, spaghetti, and pizza.<\/p>\n

Case Study: 3D Food Printing With RoboDK<\/h2>\n

Here, you can see a video of a project perfomed\u00a0The Hebrew University of Jerusalem<\/a> where RoboDK was used to control a\u00a0 UR3 Universal Robot for 3D printing.<\/p>\n
