Printing pasta

How can you print pasta with a 3D printer? For three Tilburg high school students, including Irene Mommers (photo), this was the topic of their interdisciplinary final project.

They made pasta dough and brought it to Food Process Technology to print a wheel layer by layer. Printing plastic is becoming increasingly normal but it is no easy task to print your own meal. The students’ design for a chocolate rose was too complicated and even the pasta wheel requires a bit more experimentation before we’ll see it on our plates.
