Alex Lightman spends most of his time thinking of how food technology can evolve how people eat. In fact, Lightman - part of the Natural Machines advisory board -- believes that "the future of 3D printed food" will exceed how people expect it to be.

"People think that things are going to be automated and scaled, but that's not true. The truth is that people really misunderstand how it's going to work," says Alex Lightman.
Barcelona-based Natural Machines is preparing to reveal its 3D printer. Dubbed "Foodini," the device gives home-cooks as well as chefs the ability to create food in such a way that wasn't even commercially possible before.

In fact, Foodini can create any shape and even process many different types of food. Think homemade pasta according to one's preferred shape and size, or perfectly portioned and packed burgers.

Happy 2015, everyone! We're excited to be in 2015... the year Foodini goes into production! Here is a dessert plate we...

What people generally miss about this concept is the ability to literally have things according to one's preference. Imagine the endless possibilities of food that can be created with the Foodini.
Alex Lightman also adds, "Eventually, you'll be able to get a custom meal that looks exactly as you want it, that meets the most ridiculous and precise requirements.
Whatever you celebrate this festive season, we wish you a happy holiday! We printed some roasted red pepper and basil crackers to decorate, but they didn't last too long. People kept eating them. :-)

"I mean, the sort of asks you'll be able to make are things that would get you kicked out a restaurant today. But they'll be completely normal, and pretty cheap to prepare, too," he continued.
Foodini is set for release later this year.
We printed up some crackers that are super tasty! And they are certainly healthier than packaged versions. Our crackers...
