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-based materials to create the shape and texture of a hamburger. Since it was more of an experimental product than a commercial product the costs were very high. To create this specific burger it cost more than 250.000 to enable the research and development of 3D-printing food.
3D printing meat involves using a 3d printer to create a meat-like substance using plant-based or cell-based materials. This process involves combining different ingredients and then extruding them to mimic the texture and taste of real meat. The goal of 3D-printed meat is to provide a sustainable and ethical alternative to traditional meat production methods. There are currently only a few companies engaged in commercial-scale-3d-printing of meat, and it costs a lot of money to develop and produce the necessary equipment and technology.
However, 3D-printing of meat is considered a promising technology to be more sustainable and efficient than traditional meat production. so it is likely that costs will decrease in the future as the technology becomes more mature and more companies begin to work with it.
