Revo Foods’ 3D Food Printing Hits the Industrial Stage

Sushi, fish dishes, and seafood continue to be popular on our plates, even in regions without direct access to the sea, where these goods are imported. However, this regional demand has taken a toll on our oceans, with approximately 90% of fish species dangerously close to the exploitation limit and 30% already overfished. Despite these alarming statistics, the 400 billion dollar fish market remains largely indifferent, and consumer satisfaction continues to contribute to the depletion of fish stocks.

In a promising move to counter this concerning trend in the fish market, the food tech startup Revo Foods is targeting the power of 3D printing technology. Established in 2021, the company utilizes 3D printing to create plant-based fish alternatives as a response to overfishing and the exploitation of fish species. In September 2023, Revo Foods successfully introduced its first commercially available product, “The Filet – Inspired by Salmon,” which is made out of 3D printed mycoprotein. The product quickly sold out within 48 hours, highlighting a significant demand for sustainable alternatives. Now, the company is responding to this overwhelming interest by announcing the company’s next big step: production at an industrial level.

Revo Foods Looks to Produce 3D Printed Fish On An Industrial Scale

To elevate its production capabilities, Revo Foods has created a production method that enables 3D food printing on an industrial scale. The Revo Foods Fabricator X2 3D printing system represents a groundbreaking advancement, marking the world’s first large-scale production of 3D printed plant-based fish alternatives. The Fabricator X2 utilizes an advanced printing process, incorporating a high-precision extrusion system equipped with multiple nozzles. This multi-nozzle system ensures continuous printing while allowing for the combination of different materials. As a result, the 3D printing process makes it possible to create any shape and composition.
