Novel developments in robotics and other software are adding convenience to our day-to-day Nlives. 3D printing is one such emerging field, worked on digital fabrication of material using deposition of layer one over the other in 3D space. In recent years, the spotlight on 3D printing has been shifting, to encompass a large number of areas, especially the food industry. 3D food printing brings revolutionary change in the food sector by creating ease in developing personalized food with specific nutritional compositions at low cost. It also has multiple benefits including personalised food design and individualized nutrition as well as allows the use of nutrient-dense ingredients which are not acceptable as it is, by the consumers. This leads to an economical method for delivering sustainable nutrition, and simplifying the supply chain. This paper aims to give a brief introduction on the relevance of 3D food printing in today's world, including its principle, techniques used in 3D food printing, its application in various food sectors and challenges that need to be overcome.
