The start of the project

On Monday the 6th of March we were introduced to the new subject 'technology and engineering'. So, we as a group decided to have a deeper dive into 3D printing in combination with the food industry. Since all four group members concern about their bodies in combination with the sports performances in the gym or at the soccer field. To be able to go into debt and the food industry being a fairly large industry the scope will be on the meat industry. Specifically the vegan meat industry, since producing real 3D-printed meat is still in the experimental stage. It can potentially transform the meat industry by providing a more sustainable and efficient way to produce meat products. However, many technical and regulatory hurdles still need to be overcome before 3D-printed meat becomes a viable and widely available option for consumers.  In 2013 the first 3D-printed hamburger was produced by a laboratory of the University of Maastricht. The burger was made by printing layers of plant...
