MakerBot3DPrinter

3D Printing

This project will explore applications of 3d printing. One project might be to develop an app to generate a 3D model from a cellphone photo and print solid objects using the Makerbot 3D printer in the Garage, or other tools in the WID rapid prototyping facility http://www.prototype.wisc.edu/ .

Food, glorious food!

Chocolate http://blog.we-designs.org/post/7296181317/3d-printing-chocolate

Pizza http://singularityhub.com/2013/06/14/nasa-puts-up-some-cash-to-create-pizza-making-3d-printer/

Meat, leather, pasta, burritos http://3dprintingindustry.com/food/

Cake? Ice cream novelties?

Molecular cuisine?

So that is just reproducing foods we know. But what about making foods we've never made and could not make otherwise? Top of my head, suppose you printed a food with two interlaced near microscopic regular 3d lattices of spices. Could that excite a taste illusion in the brain that a uniform mix could not? New textures of fluffiness? A lattice of egg white and cream and then microwave it?
