美國宇航局投巨資研制3D“食物打印機”

    食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊   據(jù)外媒報道，3D打印技術的發(fā)展不斷推陳出新，除了已經(jīng)應用在建筑物上，如今美國宇航局稱將投資12.5萬美元，研制3D食物列打印機，為宇航員的太空之旅提供伙食。

    這種打印機會使用電力暗盒以及油料，使用壽命為30年。這個想法源自Anjan Contractor，他曾經(jīng)成功打印出一款巧克力，驗證了食物打印機的可行性。

    部分原文報道如下：

    NASA is funding research into 3D printed food which would provide astronauts with meals during long space flights. The futuristic food printers would use cartridges of powder and oils which would have a shelf life of 30 years.

    While the idea may seem like something out of a Sci-Fi movie, the process of printing food has already been proven possible. The brains behind the innovation, Anjan Contractor, previously printed chocolate in a bid to prove his concept.
