3D printing, while serving roles in package design, tools and spare parts, is finding applications for creating unique foods that aren’t practical for conventional methods.
Additive manufacturing can describe two technologies in food production — the more commonly known is 3D printing, which has been borrowed from 3D tool and parts making, but robotic work cells can also fit the definition of additive manufacturing.
Through this partnership, the companies have created a portfolio of prototype designs, demonstrating the versatility of 3D printing and cell cultivation in producing a range of fish products.
The facility offers live demonstrations of the company's 3D printers, showcasing real-time production of plant-based meat and seafood alternatives and promoting customer engagement.
