Food 3D Printer
Design Process
NASA Food 3D Printer

-
We started out with a food 3D printer using only plant waste to create food.
-
After researching, we found there was no information of plant waste being consumed by a human.
-
Later we found the Foodini which helped us a lot with the early stages of Evo-On.
-
Then we came across an article which gave us inspiration to replace our failed plant waste idea with plant and insect solutions.
-
We had troubles with Evo-On not being 10 years in advance so, we changed from a touch screen user interface to a hologram projection user interface.
-
Second, we added a self cleaning system.
-
Third, we added a Mo-Cap, diet recognizing camera.
-
Fourth, we changed from a convectional heating system to a cooking laser.
-
After the second mentor night, we changed from many small solution tubes to few umbilical tubes.
-
Second, we added a microphone to make ordering easier for the user.
-
The last feature we added to Evo-On was a human diagnostic system that would be equipped with Mo-Cap, diet recognizing camera.
