美国宇航局投巨资研制3D“食物打印机”

    食品伙伴网讯   据外媒报道，3D打印技术的发展不断推陈出新，除了已经应用在建筑物上，如今美国宇航局称将投资12.5万美元，研制3D食物列打印机，为宇航员的太空之旅提供伙食。

    这种打印机会使用电力暗盒以及油料，使用寿命为30年。这个想法源自Anjan Contractor，他曾经成功打印出一款巧克力，验证了食物打印机的可行性。

    部分原文报道如下：

    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.
