What is 3D food printing?
A Food 3D printer deposits ingredients, in the form of a paste, in layers on top of one another, to form a new edible 3D object.
This is done by loading a paste into a syringe, and with the use of computer software, it is then squeezed out through the nozzle in any shape or form that you wish.
