The Scientific Quest to Print Food
Who: Jeffrey Lipton is the leader of the Fab@Home project at Cornell University and his team has developed the 3-D printer. He says,"the future of culinary 3-D printing lies in creating foods with different textures"(Roach 1).
Dave Arnold is a chef at the French Culinary Institute and co-author of the Cooking Issues blog. He believes that the printer has great potential for making intricate cakes.
What: The 3-D printer could be the future of processing and making food. Basically, the printer is an advanced machine which produces 3-D structures like food. Additionally, it puts the snack into layers according to how the 3-D food is designed. If you buy this magnificent device, and you are hosting a birthday party for your child, guests will think you are an incredible chef.
When: This study has been going for the last few years. It doesn't mention it in the article but you could find more information about when the research was started at a similar reliable source. The source is: http://www.news.cornell.edu/stories/June10/LipsonMacArthur.html
Where: The study, research, and making has been done at Cornell University.
Why: There are many significant reasons why the group has come with the idea. To start off with, if an adult has terrible art skills and their child is having a birthday, most times the cake won't produce very well and the design won't look neat. This device produces neatness, consistency, is accurate compared to the actual food, and is decently tasty. On the other hand, the mechanism could be used for prototypes in TV commercials and it could be a big hit. Differently, there is a possibility in the future that this device can make human organ transplants and it can save many lives of many people. Lastly, it could be a common use for parents, if they don't feel like cooking food after they come home from work. Instead, all you have to do is press the print button of the machine.
How: Using its syringe, "the printer essentially spits out paste, or frosting, or any malleable product...," declared Jeffrey Lipton. It tries to match the computerized food image to the actual food and puts the structure into multiple layers.
My Opinion: In my opinion, this product would make my day on any day. It is amazing that this mechanism could produce any food you wanted with just the click of the print button. In addition, it would make a gigantic difference in the economy and in a beneficial way. With this device, food would be free and that is unimaginable for me. On the other hand, it is unique, smart, and is leading to a good path for the future. This could be a great development in technology and a great contribution to human needs. It is interesting to watch how young people grow up to build products that will aid everyone dramatically. Therefore, the 3-D effect of the printer is a great addition to technology and it impacts many people in the world in many good ways.
