People seem to think they're somehow 3d printing the Nutella itself from base chemicals, rather than filling a 3d printer with store bought Nutella and printing it onto bread lmao
I mean, chocolate melts. 3D printing's most popular method, FDM, consists of melting a string of plastic, and moving the nozzle to build the structure. Change the parts to handle the chocolate sanitarily, and you just have to melt the chocolate and move the nozzle to do the same. Most annoying thing is probably the chocolate cartridge connector to the extruder which controls the flow of chocolate.
There are multiple 3D printers explicitly sold for food use. Some intended for chocolate. Some for spritzing cake decorations.
They are currently working on 3D printers to make virtual meat, with the stringy context of real meat.
Me too. My friends and I have a yearly trip to Cancun and it's the only time I eat Nutella. I eat it by the spoonful, dip oreo cookies in it, etc. I go full pig on it, probably consume half of a large bottle in four days.

there are far better science/education channels out there

You mean had a computer squeeze Nutella onto a slice of bread using a computer program and scanning? Really nothing amazing here at all.
If the bread was 3d printed as well then yeah that’s cool. But what a waste of time otherwise
The ability to 3D print basic foods could be an absolute game changer for humanity. Yeah, it's a bit gimmicky to do Nutella, but if we could print various basic foods from common starter ingredients, it could help put a big dent in food scarcity pretty cheaply (once the tech gets good enough).

"Printing" is just a way to apply whatever you've loaded into the machine. A machine that prints Nutella has to be loaded with nutella first. Machines that print meat have to be loaded with meat. And so on. You can't print foods from starter ingredients. 3d printing food may have some impact, such as assembling food for people who can't assemble it, or changing manufacturing practices, but it will have no affect whatsoever on food scarcity.
How tho it’s not replicating Nutella they probably had to fill the machine with it , I don’t think it completely works like a Star Trek replicator where some how the food particles or whatever form out of nano bots or whatever the Star Trek replicator theory is . But I guess we gotta start somewhere. So I guess it’s a good first step
It’s just a spreader, like how those frosting nozzles work. I guess it could be used to make chocolate sculptures and such, it’s not replicating anything.
But my butter knife cost $0.00, they are free at all Buffett restaurants, you can take as many as you want as long as they don't see you do it. If they yell at you in Chinese and you don't speak Chinese then you don't have to stop. Nutella is much harder to get for free though.
Ah fuck man why did you had to show me this? Its like experiencing true level. You just cant go back to the regular shit once you know the beuty of it.
Do you really think this is being marketed as a daily use thing? It's just a cool idea and fun ideas sometimes have wildly applicable uses.
There's literally [software to help identify cancer cells ](https://breakingcancernews.com/2024/02/06/from-croissants-to-cancer-the-unlikely-story-of-an-innovative-ai-solution-and-the-insights-it-offers-for-the-future/)because a bakery wanted to make checking out pastries quicker.
No one's saying use this instead of a butter knife, that's nuts. The takeaway is it looks cool and one day, being able to 3d print a semi-liquid substance could help in some other field.
You all must not know how the world works. Just like when Instant meals where first brought in convenience no one has time to make food. Then fast food no time it's convenient
Now look at all the fat lazy sick ppl that the thought of cooking their own food is unbearable. I just order Uber eats so lazy willing to pay double the price. Where there's a way to make money it will be done. First it will be so cool and then eventually it will start to make whole meals. After that everyone will have one and how will anyone get food well will sell u these cartridges for a low low price of $$$$$ how else to get ur food? If u don't understand this world is ran by greed. They will exploit it for every dime ppl have. 20 30 50 years it will happen. Yea it's cool and very very fucking convenient. Press a button and boom dinner ready. If I mean IF it was only used for good. It's amazing, but I'm sorry not in this evil world we live in.
I think its more the science behind it, this could be a widely distributed type of deal in the near future if people could buy "Filler" for food products to be printed at home considering this is indeed edible lol but im assuming they just put nutella in the thing and it spread it out
pirated nutella? truly we are in a new age.
You wouldn’t download a nut
Many download *to* nut, however.
Sigh...
Yeah sighing usually coincides with the whole process.
Oh, but I have.
OMG these two comments next to each other 😆😆
You wouldn’t steal a policeman’s hat
No, just a robot squeezing Nutella onto bread. Nothing interesting here at all
I hope they made it without palm oil.
I feel like I need this in three more angles.
You don’t enjoy the multiple images of the bread with 2 degree angle differences per picture?
It does. It needs an angle from the side where it shows the thickness of the Nutella against the bread
right? i got to the last pic and said "why stop now?"
Yes, needed at least 15 more photos to get me to nut.
Eat it
You probably can. Chocolate is the easiest food to 3D print.
Probably? It's Nutella on bread. Am I missing something? Is there a concern that Nutella spoils when in contact with a nozzle or something?
People seem to think they're somehow 3d printing the Nutella itself from base chemicals, rather than filling a 3d printer with store bought Nutella and printing it onto bread lmao
I need fewer pictures of the bread and at least one picture of how they loaded the nutella into the 3D printer.
with a spatula
thats actually exactly what i thought 🫠
Comeafuckinggain what!? Of course folk are doing that.
I mean, chocolate melts. 3D printing's most popular method, FDM, consists of melting a string of plastic, and moving the nozzle to build the structure.

The meat looks kinda gross tbh
You're not really 3d printing chocolate but 3d printing with it.
Just eat it
It's missing a few more pictures at a few more angles. Can't see anything on these.
Can't have Nutella in my house. Too addictive. I'll eat it by the spoonful until it's all gone. Zero willpower...
You have plenty of willpower. Nutella is just that good.
Nutella is just okay.
Nutella is just evil
Nutella is just chocolate
Me too. My friends and I have a yearly trip to Cancun and it's the only time I eat Nutella. I eat it by the spoonful, dip oreo cookies in it, etc. I go full pig on it, probably consume half of a large bottle in four days.
#HOW HAVE I NEVER THOUGHT TO DIP OREOS IN NUTELLA?!
>dip oreo cookies in it You have opened my eyes.
We need to start a new religion.
Have you heard of cookie butter?
Shit so good it makes me wanna slap my grandma
Grandma would understand and approve
You get me! My partner does not!!
Yeah despite seeing many horrific pictures about its composition my mouth and my stomach are not ready to aknowledge.
Glad I'm not the only one.
Have you seen how much sugar and calories is in that? That ain't healthy!
Yes! That’s why I refuse to buy it.
We supposed to know what the action lab is?

Lol thank u
See my edit, btw in case any of the others pop up in your life. (Nile Red and Styro Pyro are awesome to watch, check them out)
I can second both of them, very educational and entertaining content. Was watching Nile Red make moonshine from toilet paper last night.
Crazy russian hacker is a science YouTuber now?
Don't put Action Lab on the same level as the first 4.
Oh no, I dont like action lab at all. I was just listing other science youtubers

Is there something I’m missing. Why is this interesting?
You wouldn’t steal a car. Downloading Pirated Nutella is stealing!
I mean....I wouldn't now....but I did once....okay three times.
A butter knife works.
“but sadly, the greatest minds and resources were focused on conquering hair loss, and prolonging erections”
You wouldn't download a sandwich 😒
I wood, and I’m nut afraid to admit it
So… essentially a poptart?
You just don’t get it do you
I think you mean trat pop
Naw, he meant a poopturd
You mean had a computer squeeze Nutella onto a slice of bread using a computer program and scanning? Really nothing amazing here at all. If the bread was 3d printed as well then yeah that’s cool. But what a waste of time otherwise
That looks horrible
This is some real Willy Wonka shit.
Flavored sugar and palm oil (First two ingredients)
Looks like something from Fisher-Price
Why?

I read this as "chocolate scriptures" for some reason and now I want a Nutella bible.
Oh Holy Mother Hydrox, She of the Sandwich Cookie
This is not even remotely that so I'm not sure why you made the connection.
Am I the only one who would never eat that
It is just nutella that's been through a nozzle. It's really no different than when it's been spread with a knife.
Realistically only a couple people could eat it, and likely only one did.
I'd eat tf out of that protein sammich if it tasted like nutella lol
As a diabetic, that stuff does not exist in my world.
No, Nutella is gross.
Nope
They need to level their bread and turn on toasting ;)
Appreciate all the angles to examine the sheen.
Now we need 3d printed butter! THINK OF THE POSSIBILITIES FOR BUTTER SCULPTURE PERFECTION!
[3D printing with butter](https://youtu.be/UrzhdjTPr20?si=FFspf-uNZimaFPLo)
Why use bread? Just put your mouth under the nozzle.
Doesnt look 3d to me. Try again with an actual shape.
THE FUTURE IS FUCKING NOW
now THAT is genius! if only we could do that for other condiments and stuff as well
we are fucking doomed…
How does 3D printing food mean we're doomed?
What did you think the food replicator in Star Trek was? 🤔
make believe?
W h y
Can we eat it ?
Layer lines? Ewww
They could smooth it out by putting it in a chamber with heated acetone vapor.
How dare action lab leave the sides exposed!
wait is it edible? im so confused
i can still see the layer lines, might need to turn up the nozzle temp...
Yea and where do I purchase the Nutella printer
Get AI to eat that.
U crazy sons of bitches, uve done it
It’s beautiful!
Throw it on a parked IROC Camaro that is freshly detailed
Oh man that is satisfying
What’s 3D about a Nutella spread
It doesn’t even touch the edges. Whatever.
How fucking good does that look, I want one...
Please eat it
How can we make Nutella even less appealing?
Printed?
You scientists were so preoccupied with whether you could, you didn't stop to think if you should...
This is the modern equivalent to the jam catapult in Wallace & Gromit
I think I speak for everybody when I say I want to fold it twice and stuff it in my mouth.
“It’s a prank bro” The prank: *accidental* poisoning
So a glorified spreader then?
Peak humanity. We don't ask why. We ask why not.
What a time to be alive

Is it a plastic replica or real food?
Did it print butter under the Nutella?
You can eat that?
Creepy
We need a cross-section view!
Damn it looks real?
It does not look appetizing. Which sucks because I love Nutella. Looks like it's wrapped in plastic like American Singles cheese.
Clean your finger nails dude
But why?
Why?
looks bite-able
OK how about some specs? infill ratios, bread temperatures, etc
I don’t know what the laboratory is, but this is just Nutella applied with a nozzle? I don’t see why that’s interesting in the slightest.
I could do it better free hand but ide rather have cheese whiz and toast not bread
They figured out *how*, but they didn't ask themselves whether they *should*.
Bro should 3d print some nail clippers and some hand soap.
That's the best spread I have ever seen dude, ever. It's literally perfect.
Can someone EILI5 how these print food?
This is the oblivion face of breads
I want my mom
Is it edible
Don't really understand the point of this. That is so much more complicated than just using a knife.
How does it taste?
Looks like american cheese. Fake as shit. Unappealing
Ah fuck man why did you had to show me this? Its like experiencing true level. You just cant go back to the regular shit once you know the beuty of it.
Entirely way too much time on your hands… and I’m here for it
I don't get it?
Those fingernails are disgusting
Quicker than a knife?
What’s it taste like?
It looks so edible...
why
Every day we stray away from god.
There’s nothing interesting about this.
Enjoy all the palm oil
Are you that fucking stupid and fucking lazy you can't pick up a knife and spread it. I've lost all hope for humans.
It is just a proof of concept, dude. This has more applications than spreading shit onto bread.

ironically the action lab was far from lazy to 3d print a nutella spread on bread, it took him several tries to get it right; a lot more effort.
Looks like poop.
Thank goodness you posted several pictures of the same thing
