3-D food printing with paste extrusion relies on shear-thinning inks that solidify quickly after deposition
Origin: Japanese (2008) — Japan
See full technique reference →Shear-thinning rheology is required for the paste to flow under extrusion pressure and quickly regain viscosity to support subsequent layers. Protein-based inks must be partially denatured to create a gel network, while starch-rich pastes rely on gelatinization to increase viscoelastic modulus and prevent collapse.
