- Abstract
In the era of booming technological advancements and automations, integrating them into the industry becomes an aspect of paramount importance. The introduction of 3D printing in the industrial paradigm is a novel approach. Leveraging this approach in the food industry represents a transformative shift in food production, thereby offering customizations, innovations, and sustainability. A revolutionary change in food production, the implication of this technology in the sector relating to food offers improvements in sustainability, creativity, and personalization. This paper examines the evolution and growth rate of this technology, looking at issues facing the sector as well as how it affects customer happiness. Driven by technical developments like IoT, AI, and ML, 3D printing has grown from its initial use to generate sophisticated and customizable culinary items. This research utilizes secondary data from top-cited papers and industry reports to identify these challenges and propose solutions aimed at enhancing consumer acceptance. Adherence to strict food safety regulations, investment in R&D for improved texture and flavor, and enhanced transparency through educational initiatives. In conclusion, the realises the full potential of this technology and incorporating it into regular food production would require further developments and industry cooperation.
