Abstract

3-Dimentional (3D) printers were first used in the early 1980’s for the production of rigid materials such as polymers, ceramics and metals. Subsequently, this technology has started to be used in the fields of medicine, food and pharmacy. The food market is one of the most important sectors affecting the world economy in the first place. Nowadays, 3D printer has been successfully used in production of food products with complex production conditions. Important food components are lost due to the food processing technologies. 3D printers seem to have potential to prevent such losses in food products at high rates. Using 3D printers in foodstuffs, in addition to the production of 3D food in just one step, brings a different design quality to food. This technology has the ability to develop food in appearance, design, taste and structure as the consumer desires. Since the early 2000's, a wide sort of food products including chocolate, cheese, some cereal products, gels, dough and candies have been successfully produced by using 3D printers. On the other hand, it is also seen that safe and healthy foods can be produced with this technology. In the future it is clear that this technology will have a significant share in the economy market. It is predicted that 3D printers worldwide market shares of $ 3.7 billion in 2015 will exceed $6 billion by 2019. In this research, the current status of the 3D printer in the food industry and its future, the areas of use and the most commonly used printer types will be discussed.

THE CURRENT STATUS, DEVELOPMENT AND FUTURE ASPECTS OF 3D PRINTER TECHNOLOGY IN FOOD INDUSTRY

Abstract

• 3 boyutlu (3B) yazıcılar ilk olarak 1980' lerde polimer, seramik ve metal gibi sert malzemelerin üretiminde kullanılmıştır. Takiben bu teknoloji tıp, eczacılık, gıda alanlarında kullanılmaya başlanmıştır. Gıda marketi Dünya ekonomisini ilk sıralarda etkileyen sektörlerden biridir. Bugün 3B yazıcılar karmaşık işlem koşullarına sahip çeşitli gıda ürünlerinin üretiminde başarıyla kullanılmaktadır. Gıda işleme basamaklarından ötürü gıdalarda bazı önemli bileşenlerin kaybı söz konusudur. 3B yazıcıların ise bu kayıpları önemli oranda azalttığı görülmektedir. 3B yazıcıların gıda ürünlerinde kullanımı ile gıda üretimini tek basamakta yapılmakta ve gıdaya kaliteli bir dizayn kazandırmaktadır. Bu teknolojinin tüketicinin istediği dizaynda, lezzete ve görünüşte olması sağlanmaktadır. 2000' lerin başından beri çikolata, peynir, bazı tahıl ürünleri, jeller, hamur ve şeker gıdalar 3B yazıcılar ile üretilmektedir. Diğer taraftan güvenli ve sağlıklı gıdaların bu teknik ile üretildiği görülmüştür. 3B yazıcılar 2015' te 3.7 milyon dolarlık bir paya sahip iken bu rakamın 2019 senesinde 6 milyon dolar dolaylarına ulaşması beklenmektedir. Bu çalışmada, gıda sanayisindeki 3B yazıcıların şuan ki durumu, kullanım alanları ve en fazla tercih edilen yazıcı çeşitleri tartışılacaktır.
