Lol bs first commercially available …no. First to print food no…great headline from a newspaper that has no reporters.

If these are the first, then what were the ones that print pizza a few years ago? Have marketing departments finally realized the benefits of logical addressing?! :smiley:

Or even the one a few months ago that printed pancakes. This is far from the first.

This looks like a glorified ripoff of the one that bonded together sugar crystals years ago. The big difference being it is enclosed and it sounds like it is actually certified. The original author may have said things correctly and then an editor slimmed it down and killed the accuracy, but it is hard to tell.

3DSystems better watch themselves. People will probably get pissed as they build off other people’s work and then claim to be the first. That is what seems to be going on here.

It crystallizes sugar … not sure that sugar even qualifies as “food” any more but I am definitely looking forward to the day they do print something useful!

Hope theve broke a few intellectual patents along the way. As if they let the press print lies I’m sure they will have slipped up elsewhere.
