Due to the pandemic, there is growing concern over food shortage, rising unhealthy diet or meal options provided by the food service industry, and the overuse of non–degradable material package in food industry. Customers are starting to prioritise their physical health, the physical effects of the meals they eat every day, and the ingredients in their food options during their working hours, since most people are busy with their work and do not have time to prepare their three meals every day.
Hence, this project has created a healthy interactive and sustainable fastfood brand called Printaste. Printaste designs an automatic 3D food printing environment and production line to process and cook the food for the customer, consuming less raw materials and offering the customer a wide selection of flavours and ingredients. In all Printaste restaurants, all the cuisines will be made and cooked by the 3D food printer, include the package, which will be made of edible materials, and a hundred percent transparent production line has been designed for the customer to view the entire food making progress of their foods. Also, Printaste will implement an AI system user interface and wearable health device (WHD) to monitor and track the customer’s daily activities and physical condition, to provide the user with an immersive wellbeing experience.
