“…Printing also has the unique characteristic of uniting science, cooking, leisure, and art. The expected market size of this industry ($425 billion by 2025 44 ) is a testament to the fact that interest in 3D food printing is growing.…”

To date, analog methods of cooking such as by grills, cooktops, stoves and microwaves have remained the world’s predominant cooking modalities. With the continual evolution of digital technologies, however, laser cooking and 3D food printing may present nutritious, convenient and cost-effective cooking opportunities. Food printing is an application of additive manufacturing that utilizes user-generated models to construct 3D shapes from edible food inks and laser cooking uses high-energy targeted light for high-resolution tailored heating. Using software to combine and cook ingredients allows a chef to more easily control the nutrient content of a meal, which could lead to healthier and more customized meals. With more emphasis on food safety following COVID-19, food prepared with less human handling may lower the risk of foodborne illness and disease transmission. Digital cooking technologies allow an end consumer to take more control of the macro and micro nutrients that they consume on a per meal basis and due to the rapid growth and potential benefits of 3D technology advancements, a 3D printer may become a staple home and industrial cooking device.

“…At the current consumption rate, the overall fossil fuel reserves would be depleted by the next 100 years [193]. This has necessitated the drive to reduce the over dependence on carbon-based fossil fuels while introducing renewable energy resources into the global energy mix [60][61][62]. This is expected to reduce the greenhouse enormously.…”

“…This is expected to reduce the greenhouse enormously. These initiatives are achievable by developing low-cost energy-storage and conversion devices using emerging technologies such as the 3D printing [60][61][62]. Using the 3D printing approach, the usable life of these batteries and supercapacitors can be increased while using low-cost materials instead of catalysts and electrolysers from expensive platinum group metals, especially with the advent of current water splitting technologies [63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][194][195][196][197][198][199][200][201].…”

“…This makes AM versatile for mass production of structural and functional components [9]. These applications are mostly in industries such as medicine , construction [45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53] and aerospace product design [2,3,6,[54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62]. Despite the advantages and benefits of additive manufacturing, there are several challenges to adopting this technology.…”

“…A thematic review on the modelling of the various AM processes with the key performance indicator has also been carried out [63]. Most of these reviews and research outputs are Americentric and Eurocentric since developed economies have industries and research centres with state-of-the-art facilities enabling innovation in AM [2,3,6,[54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62]. Countries with some of the highest patents in AM are in the global north [64,65].…”

Global perspective and African outlook on additive manufacturing research − an overview

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies and advances made globally in medicine, construction, aerospace, and energy sectors are discussed. The paper further explores the current state of AM innovation and development landscape in Africa as a late comer to this area of smart manufacturing. Peer-reviewed and published literature were retrieved from Scopus database from 2005 to 2021 and analysed. In Africa, out of 500 published articles, South Africa has the highest research throughput, whereas about two-thirds of the continent is not actively participating in this burgeoning field. The main AM techniques most widely used are selective laser melting, fused deposition modelling, and direct energy deposition. Globally, there is an interplay of computational (machine learning and mechanistic models) and experimental approaches to understanding the physical metallurgy of AM techniques and processes. Though this trend is consistent with global practices, Africa lags the world in AM technologies, a niche that could leapfrog the manufacturing sector. Thus, Africa need to foster collaborative partnership within and globally to become an active global player in this industry.
