Publication number: 20200046013Abstract: A control unit controls a food printer configured to extrude printing compound from a container onto a tray in order to print a food. The control unit is configured to determine spectral data relating to the printing compound in the container. The spectral data is dependent on a transmission degree and/or on a reflection degree of the printing compound for electromagnetic radiation of at least one wavelength. The control unit is furthermore configured to control the food printer in dependence on the spectral data. A food printer having the control unit and a method for controlling the printer are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2017Publication date: February 13, 2020Inventors: LUCIA SCHUSTER, ROBERT KUEHN, SEBASTIAN ERBE

Publication number: 20190124970Abstract: A system for producing a food item includes a plate and a printhead disposed above the plate for extruding an edible printing mass to generate a three-dimensional configuration of printing mass on the plate. A cooking head is disposed above the plate for cooking a three-dimensional configuration of printing mass on the plate. A rotation device rotates the plate and the printhead and/or cooking head relative to one another about an axis of rotation, so as to position the printhead and/or cooking head above different points on the plate located on a circle around the axis of rotation. A radial device varies a radius of the circle. A control unit obtains a recipe for producing a cooked food item and controls the printhead, the cooking head and the radial device in accordance with the recipe to produce the cooked food item.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2017Publication date: May 2, 2019Inventors: SEBASTIAN ERBE, UGUR DOGAN GUEL, LUCIA SCHUSTER, ALVARO SUAREZ IRIBARNE
