FoodInk, the worlds first 3D Printing Restaurant, is now bringing the ability to print various food dishes. The restaurant uses 3D printers created by Dutch company ByFlow to create dishes from any type of food that can be made into a paste, such as chocolate mousse or smashed peas. Like any normal 3D printer, the filament paste is fed through the extruder to create culinary masterpieces.</span><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"></span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(48, 48, 48); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #303030; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro'; line-height: normal; min-height: 19px;"> <span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(48, 48, 48); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #303030; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro'; line-height: normal;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQxt9gY4VkaUWA0dTEOXts8nM5dGEQmx5QOTbwVqdnqAX2Q-o4E4u6cu8QOGsAgDbFBlcjx2wbSXImy_g-qMGiBqm5somT0AE2c1PBC9dXicKM9JzHnQHryYqt5mjDMs_FLja2twT1MpoS/s1600/3d-printing-fish-and-chips-1024x683.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQxt9gY4VkaUWA0dTEOXts8nM5dGEQmx5QOTbwVqdnqAX2Q-o4E4u6cu8QOGsAgDbFBlcjx2wbSXImy_g-qMGiBqm5somT0AE2c1PBC9dXicKM9JzHnQHryYqt5mjDMs_FLja2twT1MpoS/s200/3d-printing-fish-and-chips-1024x683.jpg" width="200" /></a><span style="font-kerning: none;">FoodInk employs the skills of experts from multiple professions such as architects, artists, chefs, designers and engineers in order to successfully create their pop-up restaurant. Ultimately FoodInk aims to promote the future of sustainable food and nutrition through growing technologies such as 3D printing.  </span></div> <br /> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(48, 48, 48); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #303030; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro'; line-height: normal;"> <span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">Currently operating in Venlo, the Netherlands, Food Ink will pack up shop and travel to London in late July.
