1Whatever your tastes are, it is highly unlikely that many of you are using3D printers to create your favorite meals.Still,anyone interested in the future of food can find technologists printing out snacks, from steaks to cakes, at the push of a button.Now laser cooking has arrived and it is adding an entirely new layer of gourmet(美食家)taste.

2Trials at Columbia University are revealing how highly tailored food can be prepared using a 3D printer.So far,the experiments with chicken have created laser-cooked (激光烹飪的) samples that have the same flavor profile as conventional cooking.“In fact, our two blind taste testers preferred laser-cooked meat to the conventionally cooked samples,which shows the promise for this technology,”said project leader James Blutinger.

3Companies in the food industry regularly use ingredients (食材) injected into containers and molded into appealing shapes.But playing with food chemistry and some processes to create sweet or savory (咸味的) caviar (魚子醬), is often restricted to gourmet kitchens.Now the world's first 3D printing restaurant—Food Ink—has served up treats to diners direct from printer to plate.Meat companies combine digital modeling with printing to create different cuts of steak.

4Sugar and sweet treats were among the first food printer ingredients to become a hit with home consumers.La Miam Factory in Belgium 3D prints chocolate for customers.And now a crowdfunded chocolate printer will allow anyone to do it at home.Or how about your own personalized 3D printed pizza? Well, it's not all about printing takeaway foods and sugary snacks:Being personalized means getting the right nutritional content too.

5Recreating nutrient-rich foods from a precise recipe should be as simple as sharing a file on the Internet, say Columbia's engineers.Startup Anrich3D makes food printers that take data from medical assessments,health trackers and apps,and combines them to create individual meal plans that are cheap, healthy, and nutritionally balanced.All of this could well change the way we think about and eat food.High on the list of positives is the fact that printed food can be healthier, lessen the environmental impact of food production and cut waste.
