Columbia Engineers Use Lasers to 3D Print a Three-Course Meal

2 weeks 4 days ago
Engineers in the U.S.-based Columbia University have developed a new technique to 3D print a three-course meal using multi-wavelength laser cooking. The approach tackles one of the field’s main challenges—replicating realistic textures—since most 3D printed meals are made from pastes, gels, or powders, which limit their resemblance to traditionally cooked food. In a study published […]
