Munich / DE. (ghm) Custom shapes, fonts or characters good enough to eat: At iba 2015, that takes place from 12 to 17 September in Munich (Germany), the Print2Taste GmbH introduces the «world’s first universal plug and play 3D food printer», the Plug + Play Food 3D Printing System «Bocusini». For a long time, the company said, food was considered difficult to print on. This was because the printers developed so far have been limited to individual foods or applications. Until now. With its innovation, the start-up company from Freising managed to make more than 30 natural foods printable in high resolution. The use of easily replaceable food cartridges is also new, as well as a user interface for smartphones and tablets where the user can create their own forms from. Then the printer is loaded with the desired food cartridge (pre-filled or manually filled), and the desired lettering or figures are printed. Currently, the company is preparing the launch of the «Bocusini», the delivery of the first devices are to take place later this year.
Baked goods, weather and Big Data are elements on which the business idea of Meteolytix GmbH is based. By combining and analysing the relationships of buying behaviours, weather influences and many other factors, the company seeks to promote the business of bakers and confectioners but also restaurateurs. After all, Meteolytix GmbH mentions, temperature, sunshine or rainfall impact the customers’ propensity to consume – and who wants to deny that «barbecue weather» lets the sales of certain goods soar? The company has set itself the task of analysing the fluctuations in sales and consumer behaviour that arise due to external factors and then creating custom forecasts for bakeries and confectioneries. Thus, with little effort, planning for every day can be optimized in order to fully exploit sales potential, to reduce returns and to correctly deploy staff.
