The Discov3ry Extruder is a 3D printing food add-on that equips a machine to be able to handle way more than just plastic. By now, we know that 3D printing is capable of making some awesome creations for a ton of different applications and food is definitely one of them.
With the Discov3ry universal paste extruder, 3D printers become able to handle a range of materials including silicone, wood filler and the most exciting of all, spreads like Nutella. Although there are dedicated 3D printers out there that just handle food, this attachment works with what you already have.
The Discov3ry Extruder has already gone well above and beyond its initial $30,000 Kickstarter goal and now hopes to raise a massive $100,000 to further manufacturing and testing.
