In recent years, the need of soft food is increasing in step with the aging of the population. There are so few satisfying foods for the elderly to enjoy a meal. A printer capable of printing delicious food gives the elderly a big dream and is promising. In this study, we aim at the development of a 3D edible gel printer in order to make tasty soft food. We made a prototype of the 3D edible gel printer. The printer consists of syringe pump and dispenser. The syringe pump extrudes the solution, dispenser allowing for three-dimensional modeling. We succeeded in making the gels and plate-shape gel using the 3D edible gel printer.
