Sesame, salt, and substance. A flagship bake.
Summary
MIT students have developed a prototype 3D printer called FOODres.AI that uses artificial intelligence to transform food waste (fruit peels, coffee grounds, leftover rice) into functional household objects like cup holders and small containers, unlike traditional 3D printers that use materials like concrete or plastic.
