Oh What the heck?! its a 3D food printer!

Ach, i've learnt about e-money, e-cigarettes, "e-what-have-you", finally we have e-food? (so to speak).

Foodini is a 3D food printer kitchen appliance that is able to create sweet and savoury dishes and along with the people behind it, Natural Machines, they claim that it could change the way that we prepare food altogether.
get this: Once the user chooses the recipe they want to print, Foodini will instruct what food to put in each capsule, and then printing can begin!
what the heck?! how i love the 21st century!
It has a built-in 3D scanner

With the built-in 3D scanner, you can:

• Scan an object, then save the resulting digital shape and print it (using chocolate, for example).

• Scan an object, such as a dish, or a cupcake, and print on top of it. Great for plate decorations or adding decorations on food already made.

• The 3D scanner has a resolution of 0.1mm.

If you have already pledged for a Foodini via Kickstarter: here or purchased Foodini via other channels, your Foodini will automatically include this 3D scanner hardware.

Foodini is able to print out any type of real food; this can be anything from savoury dishes to sweet. It has been specifically designed to work in the home or the professional kitchen and the unit is supplied with empty food capsules. There is no fake food involved with the Foodini, you just prepare and use fresh ingredients and neither is it necessary to go out and buy pre-filled food capsules.
In today’s world many people go for pre-made processed food above fresh foods and fresh ingredients. However the 3D foot printer could help and encourage people to go back to healthier eating habits as the Foodini makes making homemade food preparation a great deal more fun.
Foodini is superb when it comes to food that often takes a great deal of time and hard work to make by hand. The company’s goal for the Foodini is streamlining some of the activities that are often repetitive such as making dough into certain shapes or making ravioli out of fresh pasta.

The Foodini is a kitchen appliance for the 21st century and cooks can choose which fresh ingredients they want to use and then go on to tailor the food they are making to meet the need of their family. Adjusting ingredients by deleting or adding others can offer tailored recipes for food intolerances or any allergies. Children could be encouraged to eat foods that are healthier and which they may otherwise refuse, as the 3D foot printer is able to print out different shapes, even dinosaurs. This makes food more fun for children!
For those who run a professional kitchen, the Foodini will allow chefs to experiment when offering food with designer touches. Foodini uses home-grown fresh produce and this is combined with the latest in technology to come up with intricate shapes for food that would otherwise be impossible to make, or which could take a long time. Designer food printing is not only possible; it is also easier, which makes Foodini very attractive to chefs in high end restaurants.
The Foodini can make a variety of different foods, using different ingredients. For example it could be used to make cookies for Halloween in the shape of intricate spider’s webs. The 3D food printer is only limited by the imagination of the person using it and the ingredients they choose to use.
Foodini has a built-in touch screen on the front, and the integrated application connects to an online community site where in addition to generally available content (viewing recipes, online demos, etc.), users will have access to a personalized online recipe box (favorites), and the ability to upload and share their own recipe creations.

The community site can be viewable from the Foodini onboard touchscreen as well as your tablet, laptop, smartphone, etc. Browse recipes and create your printing layout while relaxing on your sofa.
For the tech enthusiasts (like myself) who love to create applications, we are releasing APIs for 3rd parties to customize recipe applications. For example, make the perfect ravioli configurator or use mathematical models to print intricate designed shapes.
All the user has to do is choose what recipe they would like to print out and then Foodini does the rest, including putting the food into each capsule and then going on to print it. While the default layout will fill the plate full, users can choose to change shapes or resize, along with changing the layouts and sizes.
Interest in the Foodini 3D food printer has been received from more than 40 countries thus far.
Home Kitchen Users Don't need to buy pre-processed snacks and meals. They can Make healthier versions of the foods you are accustomed to by using fresh ingredients and tailor them to your tastes and needs.
