Infinite 3D-Printed Meats

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Bacon Mobius Strip Will Make People's Mouth Water Endlessly

— November 6, 2012 — Art & Design
For many, the Bacon Mobius Strip will be a dream come true. Infinite bacon? How could it not be? Of course, only true meat-eaters will be able to appreciate this heavenly creation. Considering the amount of bacon paraphernalia out there, it is safe to assume that there are a lot of people out there that can grasp how amazing the Bacon Mobius Strip is. The only thing that could change their mind is the fact that it isn't actually bacon.

Created by animator and artist Joaquin Baldwin, the Bacon Mobius Strip is 3D-printed using Shapeways technology. According to Baldwin, "All the textures are raised and carved onto the surface, the colors are bright and clear, and the edges have a scrumptious wavy twist. The material is thin enough to be semi-translucent, and of undeniable baconness."
Trend Themes
1. Infinite 3d-printed Meats - 3D printing technology is pushing the boundaries of food creation, presenting us with innovatively shaped food products that have the potential for infinite replication.
2. Meat Alternatives and Substitutes - The rise of meat substitutes and alternatives means that businesses could explore creating 3D-printed versions of these products, presenting consumers with vegan or vegetarian options that replicate the flavor and texture of real meat.
3. Customized Food Products - As 3D-printing technology continues to evolve and become more accessible, businesses have the opportunity to offer customized food products, catering to individual tastes and dietary requirements.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - The food and beverage industry could explore the use of 3D printing technology to create new shapes, textures, and flavors for consumers, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in food creation.
2. 3D Printing - The 3D printing industry could focus on creating new materials and technologies that make it possible to print a wider variety of food products, allowing businesses in the food industry to create more customized and unique products.
3. Meat Processing - Meat processing companies could explore the use of 3D printing technology to create new meat products with different shapes and textures, potentially increasing appeal among consumers who are looking for new and innovative ways to experience meat.
