“…At least four functions are proposed in order to invent and personalize new recipes rather than simply automate traditional food fabrication process. The proposed functions are: metering, mixing, dispensing, and cooking (heating or cooling) [13] . Only the dispensing and cooking functions are available in the current commercial or self-developed food printing platforms.…”

“…Using FDM-based extrusion system, Hao et al [17] compared the material properties among various food items and printed 3D chocolate products with different shapes and sizes. MIT Researchers used hot melt chocolate as a dispensing liquid and developed a functional prototype named "digital chocolatier" to fabricate customized chocolate candy [13,28] . In this research, the compressed air was applied to melt chocolate and force it out of the chambers.…”

“…Food printing provides a platform for consumer experimentation with food forms and flavors [31] . It could offer more freedom for home users and designers to customize chocolate shaping [13,17,27] and personalize full-color images onto solid food formats [23] . Figure 7 shows some customized food piece samples fabricated by our group.…”

About 15-25% of aging population suffers from swallowing difficulties, and this creates an increasing market need for food mass customization. Food industry is investigating mass customization techniques to meet individual needs on taste, nutrition and mouthfeel. Three dimensional (3D) food printing is a potential solution to overcome drawbacks of current food customization techniques such as lower production efficiency and high manufacturing cost. This study introduces the first generation food printer concept designs and functional prototypes that target to revolutionize customized food fabrication by 3D printing (3DP). Different from robotics-based food manufacturing technologies designed to automate manual processes for mass production, 3D food printing integrates 3DP and digital gastronomy technique to customize food products. This introduces artistic capabilities into domestic cooking, and extends customization capabilities to industrial culinary sector. Their applications in domestic cooking or catering services can not only provide an engineering solution for customized food design and personalized nutrition control, but also have potential to reconfigure customized food supply chains. In this paper, the selected prototypes are reviewed based on fabrication platforms and printing materials. A detailed discussion on specific 3DP technologies and their associate dispensing/printing process for 3D customized food fabrication with single and multi-material applications are reported. Lastly, impacts of food printing on customized food fabrication, personalized nutrition, food supply chain, and food processing technologies are reported and discussed.

Food is more than just a means of survival; it is also a form of communication. In this paper, we investigate the potential of food as a social message carrier (a.k.a., food messaging). To investigate how people accept, use, and perceive food messaging, we conducted exploratory interviews, a field study, and follow-up interviews over four weeks in a large information technology (IT) company. We collected 904 messages sent by 343 users. Our results suggest strong acceptance of food messaging as an alternative message channel. Further analysis implies that food messaging embodies characteristics of both text messaging and gifting. It is preferred in close relationships for its evocation of positive emotions. As the first field study on edible social messaging, our empirical findings provide valuable insights into the uniqueness of food as a message carrier and its capabilities to promote greater social bonding.
