Let's discuss technology with @Blogging-Mech


Technological advancements bring many changes in human life. One of the most technologically advanced countries is Japan. This is evident from the many uses of robots in the existing industry in the country. Many new innovations are created that combine technology with various aspects of life that provide them with ease.

A Japanese company called Open Meals managed to create a 3D printer. In contrast to other 3D printers, this tool is created specifically for food. The prints in the form of these foods almost resemble the original form, the mold can also be eaten directly.

The 3D food printers created by Open Meals are named Pixel Food Printer. Although the shape almost resembles the original form, the prints are still shaped pixels. The look of the food looks like the look of the game Minecraft.

Taste of the food produced by the printer is not very good but also not too bad. This printer is connected to an application called Foodbase. In the application, there are various types of food that we can print with the machine.

Inside the Foodbase, there is also all information about food to be printed such as shape, color, nutrition, or texture. The result of all the information is then injected into each pixel containing the information.

When we select a food from Foodbase to print, then the Pixel Food Printer who shaped like a robotic arm will print the pixels containing the food-related information and then shape it into its original shape.
