3D Printers Create Edible Objects 72
MrShaggy writes "An engineering lab and a culinary school have teamed up to construct novel edible objects with 3D printers that use pureed foods in place of ink. From the article: '"It lets you do complex geometries with food that you could never do by hand," said Jeffrey Lipton, a researcher and graduate student at the lab. "So far, we've printed everything from chocolate, cheese and hummus to scallops, turkey, and celery," Lipton told CBC Radio's Spark in an interview that aired Sunday.'"

Does the shape of the food really matter? I think the texture is a far bigger deal.
No matter what shape you put it in ground meat will never make a real steak, no matter what you do with ground carrot you will never have carrot sticks.
