Cambridge Company Unveils 3D Printed "Fruit"
An anonymous reader writes "A Cambridge England company called Dovetailed has created the world's first 3D printed 'fruit'. They use a process of spherification to create little balls of fruit puree, which they then print to form the shape of the given fruit. Images here where you can see a 3D printed raspberry. Vaiva Kalnikait, creative director and founder of Dovetailed, said: 'We have been thinking of making this for a while. It’s such an exciting time for us as an innovation lab. Our 3D fruit printer will open up new possibilities not only to professional chefs but also to our home kitchens – allowing us to enhance and expand our dining experiences. We have re-invented the concept of fresh fruit on demand.'"
I have been 3d-printing whipped cream for decades, using a spray cream can.
If Pandora's box is destined to be opened, *I* want to be the one to open it.
Yes, but is the 3D-printer driven using a Raspberry Pi?
It's brilliant! I can't wait to get some 3D printed fruit so I can make a purée.

This is glorified juice-filled candy. Whole fruit has all that fiber and other stuff good for someone.
