\"DigitalThe Fluid Interfaces Group<\/a> at MIT<\/a><\/strong> has developed a “personal food factory<\/strong>.” The scientists have created a prototype 3D printer<\/a><\/strong> that stores, mixes, deposits, and cooks layers of ingredients that will rival your grandmother’s multi-layered lasagna<\/strong> according to Globalspec<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

The project called Cornucopia<\/a> is a concept design for a personal food factory that brings the versatility of the digital world to the realm of cooking.<\/p>\n

\"MIT<\/a><\/p>\n

MIT says Cornucopia’s cooking process starts with an array of food canisters, which refrigerate and store a user’s favorite ingredients. These are piped into a mixer and extruder head that can accurately deposit elaborate combinations of food. While the deposition takes place, the food is heated or cooled by Cornucopia’s chamber or the heating and cooling tubes located on the printing head. This fabrication process not only allows for the creation of flavors and textures<\/strong> that would be completely unimaginable through other cooking techniques, but it also allows the user to have ultimate control over<\/strong> the origin, quality, nutritional value, and taste of every meal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
