While 3D printing has evolved a lot from creating plastic molds to advanced high-tech medical equipment, one company has taken a completely new look at how we could be creating 3D printed food.
Revo Foods is a tech startup that is aiming to disrupt the plant-based food industry by printing seafood like salmon filets.
The company already offers a pea protein product that has a similar texture and taste to salmon, but the creation of a 3D printing system could be one of the biggest innovations in the food industry. An EcoWatch had some additional details about the sustainability of this product.
鈥淭he seafood is packaged in a recyclable paper outer packaging and a recyclable plastic interior packaging. While the energy sources for the 3D printers are unknown, 3D printers don鈥檛 require a lot of electricity to operate.鈥�
The most interesting thing about this project is that if this becomes a scalable solution, then we could get to a stage where we print our own food at home. It might sound like Star Trek science fiction, but with a 2024 launch, this could soon become a reality.
