Dovetailed 3D Printer Creates Fruits In Custom Taste, Texture, Size - That You Can Actually Eat!

Dovetailed, a Cambridge UK based design studio cum innovation lab, has come up with something really revolutionary. It has developed a 3D Food Printer that can print edible fruits. The design studio has been focused on crafting engaging physical and digital experiences that are related to change behavior for quite some time now. Taking forward the the technique of molecular-gastronomy known as "spherification", the folks over at Dovetailed have been able to make the 3D printing machine combine individual liquid droplets with different flavors into a desired shape of the fruit in just a matter of seconds.

Though the Dovetailed team believes that this first of its kind 3D printer would be targeted at chefs and foodies, we really think that anyone who is in love with the 3D printing technology and can't wait for the day, when we finally starting printing their own pizza at home, this is just wonderfully remarkable. To use this 3D printer, no prerequisites are necessary. Anybody without no knowledge whatsoever of the molecular-gastronomy technique or cooking in general is required to use it. It just rapidly prints fresh and organic 3D fruits as and when you need them!

The 3D Fruit Printer came to light at the Tech Food Hack, an experimental dining hackathon event in Cambridge UK, which was organised by Dovetailed and Microsoft Research Cambridge together. The creative experts and inventors at the design studio lab are excited about the opportunities that their product open ups. The 3D fruit printer can help anyone enhance and expand their dining experiences in the future.

What we really loved about the concept is that, the 3D Fruit Printer will let you give the liberty to create your own custom-designed fruits. This means you can come up with your own fruits that haven't existed before - In all shapes and sizes, in a variety of different tastes and textures!

    Is there any limitation on fruit being used as a ink in this 3D printer?

    Yep .Read the news in Deccan and they had briefed that it uses molecular gastronomy and it combines liquid droplets with flavours into a fruit of required taste.
    3D printing is growing in a fast phase and every now and then news pops out with interesting applications !

    If you want to eat it, you have to use fruit / eatable as an ink, I am sure no one would want to eat any other material.

    The innovation is simply mind boggling...

    I mean suppose I want to use Pineapple/Mango as a ink. So there should be some limitation that you can use a certain fruit only as a ink.
