Lets get back down to business, Shall we?

Let's Get Back Down To Business

Okay, guys I'm back after a hiatus of more than a month. Hope all of you had a great march break. I surely did.Anyways, it's back to the drawing board this month as the time is winding down before my grade 6 class and I have to present TED talks at the end of June. Until then, we have another two months of collecting research, so enjoy.

These next few blogs will be about STATISTICS of not just of 3-D printed food distribution, but their market statistics and values, helping me learn about how much 3-D printed food has helped world famine issues worldwide (yay), and the price of production (boo).

An estimation from the source of statista.com estimates the industry could be worth an estimated 10.8 BILLION DOLLARS by 2021. WOW THAT'S A LOT OF FULL POCKETS........... 

Alright, back to the point, I have to figure out how much of that is food. That's my task.

As of now, prototyping is the dominant reason of why 3-D printing is rising in market statistics, it's dominance in statistics showing itself in the pie graph above. These prototypes take many forms such as artificial limbs and another form is food as we know it. With ever-decreasing prices in 3-D printing software, the possibilities for 3-D printing have been dramatically increased since their debut in the market in the 1970's to the 1980's. These new stats are very good for creating newer, efficient resources using 3-D printers.

According to 3dprinting.com, the two dominant fields of food where rapid prototyping play a huge role are 

• Food prototyping and production and
• Food and beverage packaging prototypes.

So, in review, the 3-D food printing industry is still taking it's first steps as of now, but we are looking forward to seeing it grow over the next few years and create and better resources for the world, to possibly solve world famine problems.Well, at least I am.

Next blog is April 29th and so is my VLog. Until then, goodbye for now.
