由于它可能发出惊人,通过使用这项技术来打印食物,将3D打印被带到全新的水平!已分配了125,000美元的授予系统和材料研究公司(SMRC),为延长空间探险提供全功能的食品3D打印机。美国国家航空航天局正在全面抛弃这个冒险。目前这些航行的食物缺乏长寿;从这里开始,Arjun承包商和他的SMRC团队旨在开发3D打印机,这些打印机将使用油脂和粉末以类似于FDM 3D打印机的方式开发膳食层。他们的目标是将食物的保质期提高到15年来喂养NASA的太空探险家,所有这些都通过制造这种3D打印机。
承包商说:“我认为,许多经济学家认为,目前的食物系统无法充分供给120亿人......所以我们最终必须改变我们对食物所看到的感知。”所以很明显,这不仅仅是为宇航员提供粮食安全,而世界粮食需求也可以迎合,如果这样的发展完成!
Rendering Contractor’s plan, a simple cartridge will be required to make the food and once a cartridge is used, the consumer can simply come back to the store where it can be refilled with any ingredient, powder and oils etc. This will also finish the problem of food waste. General public can benefit from such customized 3D printers that can give, “customized, nutritionally-appropriate meals synthesized one layer at a time”, to them. New cooking techniques are prone to be devised using food 3D printers, adding new textures and flavours. The best food suited for a 3D printed cuisine is Pizza as per Contractor, mainly due to its distinct layers of pita base, veggies, chicken and cheese, etc. He said , “because it can be printed in distinct layers, so it only requires the print head to extrude one substance at a time.”
印刷食品的思想听起来荒谬,但随着技术进步发生,似乎不再是不可能的了!
