Future Food Tech – 3D Printing Food Information
Learn everything about 7 growing areas of future food tech and get your 3D printed food project prototyped
🔬 What is 3D food printing and how does it work? Can all food be 3D printed?
🥩 Is lab grown meat “real” meat?
🍄 How can mushrooms, algae and bugs help save our planet?
In this one-of-its-kind comprehensive program, food architect and 3D food printing expert Jashan Sippy will offer you the opportunity to co-create your very own edible 3D printed concept. You will understand how 3D food printing works, explore printable food materials, as well as the current advantages, challenges and scope of 3D printing food in the contemporary market. With an abundant, curated selection of case studies and live examples, we will unravel active advancements in agrifoodtech, robotics, smart kitchens, digital restaurants, smart retail and delivery systems.
Jashan will also share examples of collaborative, commissioned, and self-initiated 3D food printing projects undertaken by his Mumbai-based creative agency, Sugar and Space, to help inspire you to push the boundaries as you combine creativity, food science and futuristic technology to develop unforgettable food products and experiences.
Finally, you will have the opportunity to develop a scalable concept for a 3D printed product or experience, and witness its creation through a prototyping session at Sugar and Space’s studio (online/in person). Jashan will provide you with photo and video documentation of the outcome for you to use in you portfolio, research project, on social media or for your funding application.
