Fused deposition modeling (FDM) Food material is extruded from the nozzle and deposited at a time Chocolate, cookie dough, cheese, potato
Color jet printing (CJP) Drop edible binding agent on powder bed Sugar powder, starch, low viscosity food
Selective laser sintering (SLS) & Hot air sintering Edible powder is melted with a laser (or heat) and then sintered Powder ingredients such as sugar and starch
Binder jetting Deposition by dropping binder in edible powder Sugar powder, flour, starch
