Proposal for a New Sensory Exploration System of 3D Printed Noodles Based on Parametric Design

Abstract

In this study, we employ parametric design and a 3D food printer to innovate in the exploration of new food textures. By manipulating parameters such as the thickness and shape of noodles, we can create unique 3D printed noodle designs. The texture of these noodles is then learned through an oral cavity-mimicking piezoelectric sensing device, facilitating the discovery of novel textures. This approach merges advanced manufacturing techniques with sensory analysis, offering a new pathway for culinary innovation. By precisely controlling noodle parameters, we unlock a wide array of textures previously unattainable in traditional food preparation methods. This research aims to broaden the spectrum of food textures available, enhancing the culinary experience through technology and design
