The Contemporary Culinary Center in Rennes, established in 2013, is a hub for tomorrow's gastronomy. This innovative space pushes boundaries in food printing through collaborations with designers and engineers. They're now testing a groundbreaking 3D food printer that crafts custom shapes from pancake batter—imagine Eiffel Tower pancakes. Traditional spatulas may soon be obsolete.
The center has adopted the Pancakeprinter, a device originally developed in England. This machine extrudes 3D pancakes and other treats using simple software: users design shapes, highlighting intricate details. The printer deposits batter onto a hot plate, and an automated arm assembles it flawlessly—in just 5 minutes, yielding stunning, realistic results. While early experiments focus on straightforward, recognizable designs, the center is optimistic about rapid advancements and aims to become Europe's first 3D food printing laboratory.
A remarkable leap in culinary innovation!
