Patiss3 (food 3D printer)

2022: 3D Printer Announcement for Edible Confectionery

In early June 2022, Digital Pâtisserie introduced a 3D food printer called Patiss3, specially designed for kitchens and catering establishments and allowing you to print large volumes of products without adding additives. Using technology developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the device is designed for professional confectioners and allows you to create freeform shapes in a short time.

The 3D printer is a connected machine that reproduces the structure of a ready-to-fill confectionery product, while maintaining the content of the additives of the original recipe, according information to Geeky Gadgets. Unlike existing 3D printing technologies, which use gel to set the structure as it is made, Marine has combined 3D technology with a taste focus.

This patented technology allows you to create free-form shapes up to a millimeter. Compared to the usual test, which requires hours of preparation at successive stages such as freezing, this innovation takes a tenth of the time, giving confectioners unprecedented freedom. This printer, which is changing French and world gastronomy, will be made in France. The developed technology by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is focused on the professional market.

According to the developers, the printer can Patiss3 use two powders that literally support the structure during its production: one of them is universal and has the least effect on the final taste of the confectionery, regardless of whether it is salty or sweet, and the other is based on cocoa, which has been worked on to reduce bitterness. The powder removal station reduces the powder used in the printing step, which can be reused up to seven times. From the 3D file, you can make any form, for example, biscuit, while controlling the aromas and preserving the original taste of the recipe. The 3D printer is available with additional modules: a powder removal station with regeneration and a furnace to optimize production time.^[1]
