Cool food data transmission project scans real food and “prints” them onto your plate

So how will it work? Scanning food is a relatively simple process, but recreating it is what the team is currently pouring all its efforts into.

Like its namesake, the Pixel Food Printer stacks tiny 5-millimeter cubes of colored, flavored gelatin in the shape of scanned food. Ultra-precision machinery ensures that all the cubes go to the right places.
