This comprehensive book delves into the realm of technical notes, research designs, literature, and 3DP (three-dimensional printing) technology applications in the field of effective food printing. It offers a multidisciplinary perspective on 3D food printing across various food sectors, highlighting recent advancements in manufacturing processes to maintain competitiveness in the market. 3D food printing employs 3DP digital gastronomy strategies to produce food products with consistent shapes, colors, flavors, textures, and even nutritional content. By regulating the quantity and quality of nutrients, food items can be manufactured and handled to meet specific requirements. Both proprietary structures and self-developed frameworks are utilized from open sources for food printing. Similar frameworks are re-engineered to enhance administration, content creation, and user interface. For instance, three printing medium types—natural printable products, non-printable synthetic food products, and alternative ingredients—are employed alongside two recipe forms (element-based recipes and regular recipes) to facilitate customized food production. The authors emphasize the theoretical correlation between open 3D technology for food printing and food processing technology. This book serves as a valuable resource for industrial designers, nutrition professionals, dieticians, manufacturing enterprises, and young researchers in food technology, material science, and mechanical engineering, aiding in their understanding of the latest advancements in 3DP technology within the food industries.
