My Business Idea: 3D-Printed Meals from TV to Table

Have you ever wanted to eat food you see on TV right after it has been introduced? Many TV shows highlight famous and popular dishes, but if you live far from the restaurant, it is impossible to try them immediately. Of course, we have online shops these days, but it still takes time(from a few days to several months). That is why I would like to introduce an idea, which is immediately creating food introduced on TV with a 3D printer. I'm not sure if anyone has already invented such a printer, but ever since the first 3D printer came out in the world, I have been thinking about this concept.

In my research, a Japanese company called Byte Bites Inc. has developed a 3D printer that creates food based on personal preferences. The printer requires the right ingredients, and once you input the dish's details, it knows how to cook and shape the meal. It is fascinating, and for restaurant owners, it is cost-effective since it eliminates the need for an extra chef.


3D Food Printer: 'Mimetic Food System'*


My idea builds on this technology, and here is the general concept:

- The 3D printer has AI functionality.

- It connects to your TV or PC.

- Basic materials are input, like flour and water, into the printer.

- When a dish is shown on TV, the printer receives electronic data, including the dish's image, shape, aroma, and taste.

- The printer processes this data and recreates the dish based on the information from the TV.


This is still a rough idea, but if it could be developed and sold at an affordable price, people could enjoy dishes they see on TV at any time. I understand that creating this 3D printer would take a lot of time and effort, and I need to collaborate with engineers, scientists, and nutritionists. However, if the opportunity arises in the future, I would definitely pursue it, as this technology could revolutionize how we think about food.
