NASA to fund a 3D printer for food

Posted on May 21 2013 by Sam Hughes

It has been revealed that NASA are funding research into a 3D food printer, with the aim of automating the creation of food.

Mechanical engineer Anjan Contractor received a $125,000 grant from the agency to build a prototype 3D printer, with hopes that it could provide food for astronauts during long-distance space travel.

However, beyond the uses for NASA, there is the wider aim of solving food shortages across the world.

According to Quartz, the software for the printer will be open-source, while the hardware is based on the open-source RepRap Mendel 3D printer. The concept, though, is to use ‘building blocks’ of food in replaceable powder cartridges – then, these blocks will be combined to make a wide range of foods. Each cartridge will have a lifespan of 30 years, too!

Contractor has proved that his system work on a basic level by printing chocolate, but now the next step is to attempt to print a pizza. The dough will be printed first and cooked during the process, before mixing tomato powder with water and oil to print a tomato sauce a nondescript ‘protein layer.’

ITProPortal rate the Xerox Phaser 6600 Colour Laser Printer

Posted on May 17 2013 by Sam Hughes

It is always difficult for any small office with heavy duty print needs to find a machine that can handle the demands of their workgroup – though the Xerox Phaser 6600 may put an end to the search.

ITProPortal put the colour laser printer through its paces and saw that it was certainly a machine with high standards – giving it a fantastic 4 star rating!

They said: “Given that it also boasts on par or better output quality across the board, including photos, and the 6600/DN is a particularly good fit if you need a colour laser to print a lot of pages, and you also need the output to look good.”

It wasn’t just the print quality that received praise, with its paper handling also mentioned as a particular strong point as it comes with “a 550-sheet drawer, 150-sheet multipurpose tray, and duplexer (for two-sided printing) as standard. The 550-sheet drawer is a particularly nice touch, since it lets you refill the drawer with an entire ream of paper even before it’s fully empty. And if you require still more capacity, you can add a second 550-sheet drawer for a total 1,250 sheets.”

ITProPortal went on to claim that “the Xerox Phaser 6600/DN can be an excellent fit for a small office or workgroup that needs a heavy duty workhorse which provides high quality output.”

With Printerbase, you can now get the Xerox Phaser 6600DN with a huge £114 off the orginal price, with the Xerox Phaser 6600N now just £199. Not only that, but you can get £75 cashback on both machines!
