Moodbytes Talks Integrating 3D Printing Into Restaurants

Food 3D printing is an emerging technology that enables chefs and restaurants to create unique, personalized dishes. It is already being used in some avant-garde and fine-dining restaurants to create intricately shaped, visually stunning dishes that would be difficult to achieve using traditional methods. In addition to their aesthetic value, food 3D printers can also offer practical benefits for the preparation and presentation of dishes. What’s more, this is an evolving technology that is set to become more accessible and affordable in the future. That’s why interesting companies and initiatives have sprung up to promote this manufacturing method in the food service sector; Moodbytes is one of them. We spoke to its CEO and founder to find out more about their use of food 3D printing.

3DN: Could you introduce yourself and tell us about your connection with 3D technologies?

My name is Marcio Barradas and I’m the CEO and founder of Moodbytes and FoodInk, one of the world’s first 3D printed food restaurants. 3D printing of food opens up a new way to bring FoodTech and FoodDesign together, using technology to develop the artistic and culinary creativity of chefs and artists themselves. Our customers came to the restaurant not only to eat, but also to experience different and delicious dishes created by renowned chefs from healthy and tasty ingredients. I’ve been using 3D technologies for 7 years, so I have a wealth of experience that I’ve shown to consumers and the food industry at the gastronomic events I’ve attended.
