Pasta maker Barilla and research organization TNO may form collaboration to provide 3D printed pasta in restaurants.
The 3D printer, which is in its preliminary stage, will be capable of instantly printing diner's choice of 3D designs on the ordered pasta.
According to Project leader Kjeld van Bommel, the printer is 10 times faster than what it was capable of two years back and at this stage the printer can produce up to 15 to 20 pieces of pasta in just two minutes, Cnet reported.
Currently, the team is focused on improving the speed of the 3D food printer to get workable in restaurants.
