ABSTRACT
From providing nutrition to being social platforms, food plays an essential role in our daily lives and cultures. In this work, we are interested in using food as an interaction medium and a context of personal fabrication with an expanded design space enabled by support bath-assisted printing. The bath scaffolds the embedded materials while preserving shapes during the printing processes and allows us to create freeform food with fluid-like materials. Coupled with different post-processing and cooking methods, this technique grants the versatility of food printing with fluidic materials. We will demo confectionery arts and dishes designed by our software tool.
