3D printing is an innovative manufacturing process whereby an object is built up, layer by layer, from a 3D computer design, using for example, printing technology or lasers.
These methods can be used for the production of objects made from a single type of material as well as combinations of materials in which each material is deposited, for instance, by a separate print head. An example of a 3D printing system with several print heads is the PrintValley machine recently developed by TNO.
This kind of technology will lead to new types of production systems for the manufacture of complex multi-material products. Applications for this can be found among a whole range of sectors like electronics, solar cells, lighting and food.
By combining and merging all the many different disciplines it has at its disposal, TNO can offer uniquely innovative, sustainable solutions such as food printing that make use of this multidisciplinary approach, combining knowledge of mechatronics, 3D industrial printing and specific food knowledge in the areas of ingredients, formulae, texture and structure.
This 3D printer seems like it would be a good one for prototyping.
Awesome
Heya, I certainly appreciated your videos. I assume we maintain many linked hobbies since we produce a cool 3D Cad application. Check our channel out! All the best!
The way you guys at TNO are approaching food printing is amazing. Different techniques and out of the box ingredients. I am currently writing a paper on food printing, and I believe you are way ahead of what others are doing as of now. Wish to see all these techniques in real, keep going on!!
lets make hamburger with this
Awesome!!!
YAY YOU CAN CREATE FOOD
with expensive chemical things for the poorr :)D
Amazing.
Not bad
