Lovable geeks that we are, we've always got a watchful eye on developments in 3D printing technology. Its amazing to see interest spreading through a whole host of disciplines. Core77's very own Matt Brown has even speculated on how such technologies might influence food production in his design fiction work.
Well, according to a report that appeared on CNN Money yesterday, Matt's fantasies may not be so far-fetched. Working alongside the opensource Fab@Home project, students and researchers at Cornell have been experimenting with printing quite a variety of edibles.
The team are seemingly looking to get these babies out into mass production—aiming for a price point comparable to that of an iPad.

So good to see 3D printing of delicious goop.
Now we need to introduce alcohol into the mix and we are bound to see massive uptake in college students (and engineers) around the globe.
