2026年4月4日3D打印快讯：食品打印、可可印刷等

The world of additive manufacturing never stands still. This week’s roundup brings a fascinating mix of innovation, from the future of our food to strategic leadership changes in the maker community. Whether you’re a hobbyist or a professional, these developments highlight the expanding horizons of 3D technology.

增材制造的世界从未停滞不前。本周的综述带来了一系列引人入胜的创新，从我们食物的未来到创客社区的战略领导层变动。无论您是业余爱好者还是专业人士，这些发展都突显了3D技术不断扩展的视野。

A recent report from the UK’s Food Standards Agency (FSA) has identified 3D printing as a key emerging technology poised to reshape the nation’s food system. Alongside precision fermentation and molecular farming, additive manufacturing offers the potential to create personalized foods with custom textures, shapes, and nutritional profiles.

英国食品标准局（FSA）最近的一份报告将3D打印确定为一项关键的新兴技术，有望重塑该国的食品体系。与精密发酵和分子农业一样，增材制造提供了创造具有定制质地、形状和营养成分的个性化食品的潜力。

This technology is already being piloted globally for creating specialized meals for patients with dysphagia (swallowing difficulties). While the FSA classifies 3D printed food as a “tier-three” technology—not expected for widespread commercial sale until after 2035—interest is growing within UK healthcare and catering sectors. The success of this edible tech may ultimately hinge on consumer willingness to embrace new culinary experiences.

这项技术已在全球范围内试点，用于为吞咽困难患者制作特殊膳食。虽然FSA将3D打印食品归类为”第三级”技术——预计在2035年之后才会广泛商业销售——但英国医疗保健和餐饮行业的兴趣正在增长。这项可食用技术的成功最终可能取决于消费者是否愿意接受新的烹饪体验。

Dr. Thomas Vincent, Deputy Director of Innovation at the FSA, stated, “Emerging technologies are reshaping how our food is produced and sourced… By working early with innovators, we can support safe, responsible growth and build consumer confidence in the foods of the future.”

FSA创新部副主任托马斯·文森特博士表示：”新兴技术正在重塑我们食品的生产和采购方式……通过早期与创新者合作，我们可以支持安全、负责任的增长，并建立消费者对未来食品的信心。”

In the realm of already-successful 3D printed food, chocolate holds a sweet spot. Cocoa Press, the startup behind the first consumer 3D printer for chocolate, is making serious business moves. The company has appointed David Randolph, former head of Prusa Research’s U.S. manufacturing arm Printed Solid, as its new Chief Executive Officer.

在已经成功的3D打印食品领域，巧克力占据了一个甜蜜的位置。推出首款面向消费者的巧克力3D打印机的初创公司Cocoa Press正在采取重大的商业举措。该公司已任命大卫·伦道夫为其新任首席执行官，他曾是Prusa Research美国制造部门Printed Solid的负责人。

Randolph brings nearly a decade of experience in scaling 3D printing manufacturing operations, having transformed Printed Solid from a filament supplier into a major U.S. manufacturing hub. His leadership signals a strategic shift for Cocoa Press as it aims for mainstream adoption and a more established position in the consumer 3D printing market. He will oversee both Cocoa Press and the subscription-based DIY service Print Kits.

伦道夫拥有近十年的扩展3D打印制造业务经验，曾将Printed Solid从一家线材供应商转变为美国主要的制造中心。他的领导标志着Cocoa Press的战略转变，旨在实现主流采用并在消费级3D打印市场占据更稳固的地位。他将同时监督Cocoa Press和基于订阅的DIY服务Print Kits。

Founder Ellie Rose, who remains Chief Technology Officer, commented, “David has an uncanny ability to take an idea to market that expresses a personal experience for not only the consumers but for the DIY and maker communities at large.” This appointment underscores the maturing landscape of specialty 3D printers beyond traditional plastics and resins.

创始人兼首席技术官埃莉·罗斯评论道：”大卫拥有一种不可思议的能力，能将一个想法推向市场，这个想法不仅为消费者，也为整个DIY和创客社区表达了一种个人体验。” 这项任命突显了超越传统塑料和树脂的专业3D打印机领域正在走向成熟。
