Jello Printer

Abstract

We present the jello printer, a system that enables printing of objects using jello. To our knowledge, this is the first work that presents a working system for printing food data in a tangible and edible manner. Our current implementation allows the user to easily deform and cut a shape of jello to facilitate browsing, as well as for tasting. In addition, it is possible to model 3D height fields using our system, so that a user can specify arbitrary cross-sections to explore 3D structure interactively. © 2006, Japan Society for Software Science and Technology.
