• Creating fresh made food for everyone• Target customers with

• passion about technology• Together with passion for food

GSAL

Making it possible

• Smart devices connection with 3D food printers

• Intelligent kitchen transformation

• Daily necessity and must own appliance

• Communicate with other smart devices over internet network

• Sharing of new experience in food culture about taste, texture, or even fragrance

6

Connectivity & sharing of dining experience

GSAL

Making it possible

• Reduce wastage

• Nutrition on demand

• Possible additive free diet

• Able to print out fresh processed food

• Easy access to recipes through cloud / internet

• Standardization or personalization

7

Benefits of printed food stuff

GSAL

Making it possible

• 3D printer as common appliance in kitchen / canteen• Reduce pre-cooking time• More varieties

Speedy preparation of dishes

GSAL

Making it possible

Build up of bacteria

Chemical in filaments

Toxic emission during printing process

Not dishwasher safe

Lead in Brass nozzles

Threat and challenges

FOODINI

GSAL

Making it possible

Avoid bacteria build up by using food safe sealant

Apply food safe filaments

Washing with anti-bacterial soap and warm water

Use food safe hot end / extruder

10

Counter measures

GSAL

Making it possible

Limited to food that can be made into a paste

Ideal for chocolate, frosting, doughs

Needs breakthrough for more robust food

Printed pizza still required to cook like ordinary pizza

11

Drawbacks of ３D Food Printing

GSAL

Making it possible

programmed to 3D print food in specific caloric portions

Fit into any food plan

Food customization for hospitals, nursery or schools

Fulfill specific nutritional needs of individuals

Daily necessity and must own appliance

3D food printers communicate with other smart devices

13

Connectivity & Control

Diagram source : Astroprint

GSAL

Making it possible

Perform routine & repetitive tasks in busy kitchens

Background support for standard desserts / appetizers

Automation of certain food preparation tasks

Still needs standard cold supply chain to carry out transportation for 3DFP ingredients

RTLS and transparency important to ensure freshness & quality

14

Cost efficiency & logistics considerations

GSAL

Making it possible

Home usage is a tough market to crack

Simple operation for hummus but complicated steps for daily meals

Hurdle to overcome to make novelty shaped food Food texture likely be a sticking point

Paste shaped like real food unexciting

Expecting new model with an integrated cooking element

15

Tough market to crack for every home

GSAL

Making it possible

3D food printers as common appliance in kitchens

Printing of standard meals to salad / fruits

Combination of technology and art design with food

Pioneer to try printed food – likely to be astronauts

16

In foreseeable future

GSAL

Making it possible
