3D printing is the latest technology revolutionizing industry as we know it. From fabricating cars and clothes to facilitating solutions to real-world problems such as crime and housing shortages , there is no end to to 3D technology’s potential to impact everyone’s life . One of the most interesting applications of 3D technology is in the food industry. Beehex, the first company specializing in 3D printed pizza, recently announced a collaboration with the Neopolitan restaurant Ribalta, which has locations in NYC and Atlanta (full article here). Using the restaurant’s recipes and top quality ingredients, the Beehex prototype is able to print an oven-ready pizza in under 4 minutes. One of the company’s co-founders is also the creator of the first 3D food printer for NASA. The printer can be equipped with food cartridges that last 30 years, a very important feature for long-distance space missions that may last several years.
