Development of 3D printing technology based on edible materials

The extension of edible materials has accelerated the development of 3D printing technology. However, as compared with engineering materials, the 3D printing technology for edible materials still faces many challenges. This review introduced the current mature 3D printing technology and its application field, and expounded the structure and composition of food 3D printer, as well as explained the research progress of edible material 3D printing at home and abroad. Moreover, the existing problems in the application of 3D printing in edible materials were summarized and analyzed, helping to look forward to a wider range of applications in the future, and this would have a profound impact on the development of 3D printing technology.
