Dream it, print it, eat it
Through a new international collaboration between designers, chefs and technologists, Dutch 3D printer manufacturer byFlow is opening the first 3D Food Printing Restaurant in The Netherlands. Launched under the name ‘Food Ink’, byFlow will showcase the latest creations in 3D food on 12th April, during the 3D Food Printing Conference in Venlo, Netherlands.
The Dutch company ‘byFlow’ produces multi-material and foldable printer solutions with easily exchangeable extruders. Aside from the common plastics such as PLA, ABS, nylon, etc, it can also print with bio-rubber, wood, bronze, glass, clay, ceramic and silicon. Accessories for the dinner table can be printed such as ceramic vases, bronze napkin rings, art, cutlery, porcelain plates and plastic prototypes to make silicon moulds.
This printer is also capable of printing edible materials like chocolate, hummus, meat, goat cheese and pizza dough. After the demonstrations during the 3D Printshows in Paris, Rome, Madrid, London and Berlin, it is now Venlo’s turn to experience the latest version of byFlow.
During the show, byFlow, along with 3D Samba, chef Mateo Blanch (from Restaurant La Boscana near Barcelona), 3DChef and 3DFP Ventures from London will be offering visitors an exclusive opportunity to experience first-hand and in real time, a 3D printed gourmet menu which has been specially conceived for this event.
