Marketing The 3-D Printing Food Process?
As 3-D printing takes it's first steps in the marketing industry, it's market statistics in constant growth and inspiring many new technologies, people are starting to catch on to the trend, as it may reshape living on Earth, from foods to mechanical products.
As the market statistics progress, you might see more printers coming around offering various new technologies in prototyping. After all, these prices for 3-D printing material are slowly going down, down, down, while advancements in technology will keep rapidly growing as seen below.

But how much of that graph is food technology?
With traditional farming becoming old, outdated and not easily accessible to some parts of the world such as lands where there are lots of drought, and tundra as well, many strategies are being used to get foods to different parts of the world, but my tomatoes aren't just right when they're thrown into a truck to be sent 2000 miles away and come to my local supermarket overripe, instead of fresh tomatoes from Nonna's backyard which are just right.
The problem with that is that we can't get them year- round, but what if 3-D printed food with the same nutritional content and taste which can be mass-produced using the right technology can solve that problem. That is what my genius hour is about. Not random stuff all slapped together.
Now here are the facts that I have deciphered from the limited amount of info the internet can give me.
- The public hasn't paid much attention to the food printing process but since 3-D printed technology is on the rise and the public is seeing how it works, without a doubt, they will probably catch on to 3-D printing food as a new way to ensure no one goes hungry when weather does't permit the right growth. This ties in with the fact that global warming is a huge threat around the world.
- Traditional farming will probably come to an end, replaced by new growth methods and 3-D printing as well. For more details, I'd recommend the October 2015 issue of Popular Science, the topic being called "The Future of Food".
- 3-D printed food isn't only going to be for the elderly with dysphagia as discussed in my last post. This may become a worldwide topic, so stay tuned.
Yeah it's real and coming to a store or something like that near you! Ciao guys, have a nice day and all that jazz. I'm out.
