The Foodini
The Foodini 3D printer, which will be available later this year and is expected to cost around $1,300, primarily helps with food presentation.
3D printed goodies
With the Foodini printer, users can easily write messages or design customized food products using the special nozzle that the dough or other food product comes out of.
Printing plates
This food divider, which is edible itself, was printed using the Foodini printer. It's marketed as a moderately sized kitchen appliance to help with all types of meals.
3D printing burgers
Ground meat can be used in the Foodini to make real burgers. Simply print out the shape you want and then cook them.
3D printed pizza dough
Print things like this pizza dough with the Foodini. The 3D printer can print cooked things (like sauces or candy) that can be eaten right away, or you can choose to design them and then bake them after they are printed.
3D printed vegan food
These cute chickpea nuggets were made using the Foodini. The machine is supposed to be for the everyday kitchen. So instead of buying those animal-shaped chicken nuggets at the grocery that you have no idea where the meat came from, make them at home in any shape you want.
3D printed quiche
These little dinosaurs were made with a spinach quiche batter. It's not something you will find in stores, and that's the point -- to appeal to those who want to get even more creative and artistic in the kitchen.
3D printed spaghetti
These spaghetti noodles were made using the Foodini. Making homemade noodles has always been extremely time-consuming, though of course it's much more healthful and fresh than store-bought ones, but with this 3D printer, the process is made much easier.
