3D printed food: Yuck or yes? Researchers ask South African consumers

Would you eat food that was printed by a machine? 3D printed food is built up by equipment (a 3D food printer), layer after layer, using edible pastes, dough and food slurries in three-dimensional forms. These machines use digital models to produce precise, often personalized food items. Most 3D printed foods are made from nutrient-dense sources (plant and animal), which means they can offer health benefits.
