Trending Applications of 3D Food Printing Technology
The biggest application of 3D food printing is in the manufacturing the customized food. The fact that it is due to 3D printing technology food has become highly customizable according to consumer preferences thereby also allowing for hyper-customization. Thus, it is allowing food item producers/ users to print food by its taste favorites, and health needs which is right for them.
1) Increased Adoption of 3D Printing Technology in the Chocolate and Confectionery Industry
The use of 3D food printing in the chocolate industry is providing customers with more options for their customizable treats. Owing to the advantage chocolate and confectionery supplier have now improvised their production lines. In February 2020, Barry Callebaut, a Swiss chocolatier, who supplies chocolates to its clients such as Hershey and Nestlé, successfully developed 3D printed chocolate on a larger scale. This came after Barry Callebaut’s consumer research concluded that 70% of the consumers are agreeing to try innovative chocolate products, and 60% want them for sharing on social media. In addition, companies like Hershey, Nestlé, Mars, and Mondelez International have been already experimenting with 3D-printed chocolate for the last few years. For instance, Hershey scientists are working on 3D printing of designing candy. Whereas, Oreo is using this technology to produce customized crème patterns and flavored cookies.
These all factors indicate, while still in its very early days, 3D food printing has massive potential to revolutionize the food industry. Moreover, this technology can also provide essential, vegan, and gluten-free chocolate to customers. As a result of growing health awareness, this advantage can play a vital role in terms of promoting product lines. This 3D chocolate and confectionery food printing application will be rising with more than a 15% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) by 2025.

2) 3D Printed Food for Elders and Patients
3D food printing technology can be useful in making foods for people with special mealtime needs such as making softer meals for elders with chewing or digestion problems. Also, medicine can be presented in the shape of tasty food, instead of pills or powder. In Today’s time, this is the most useful concept for people with dysphagia condition. According to various studies conducted, 60-70% of home patients struggle to swallow regular foods. This opportunity was initially utilized by the company named Biozoon GmbH, a German company, under the consortium, performance (personalized food for the nutrition of the elderly consumers), which used 3D printing technology to develop a personalized diet for persons suffering from dysphagia or similar conditions. It developed the concept of 3D-printed meals made from pureed and strained food that holds the same texture and looks and provides additional health benefits. While testing this food with the patients, it had been well received by them.
As per the results published, 54% found the texture good, and 43% choose performance meals when it comes to chewing and swallowing difficulties. Further, this flooding has been accepted by a few of the lower-level local government entities in European countries. For instance, Swedish municipalities plan to start 3D-printing at care homes for the elderly, stimulating residents' appetites by taking puréed food look like the real thing. Also, in 2018, Isala Hospital of The Netherlands partnered with a food provider to develop 3D-printed meals for their aged care patients. Due to this increasing adoption, 3D food printing application for elders’ and patients’ food is expected to grow between 7-10% CAGR by 2025.
