How 3D Food Printing works

HOW TO PREPARE FOOD FOR 3D PRINTING?

It’s easier than you think! There are 3 basic requirements for food to be printable. Always follow these 3 rules, no matter if you use one of our dedicated recipes for 3D Food Printing or experiment with your own ideas.

paste

The ingredients need to be processed into a paste-type substance that is extrudable. Hard pieces, such as bread, solid meat or unprocessed vegetables are not printable.

smooth

The paste needs to be very smooth, because it's extruded via a small nozzle of ~1mm diameter. Any particles larger than that will block the nozzle and fail your print.

stable

The paste needs to have a certain thickness in order to keep its shape after printing. Water or juice cannot be used, as the shape will immediately flow out after printing
