3D food printing was first considered as an opportunity to create disruptive marketing opportunities to engage buyers at live events, or to deliver a highly customized and timely interaction with customers and consumers.
However, another scenario for this niche market reveals that its growth is likely to be affected by concerns that go beyond the aesthetic look of 3D printed food, concerns that are based on the way we currently consume food, concerns that should drive a positive change in our dietary habits.
Indeed, the rendering of 3D printed food is without any doubt appealing, but should we trust the contents of each dish? Is it really healthy? From a manufacturing perspective, what technologies should we trust? And most importantly, what stand should food manufacturers adopt?
These are some of the questions that the next session of Additive Talks will address.
