Our first released product already selling globally is Foodini — a 3D food printing kitchen appliance with 7 patents filed to date.
The premise of all 3D printers is the user becomes the manufacturer. The same concept applies with Foodini. Foodini works with food capsules end users can fill with their own fresh ingredients.
Now, we are raising funds for the next version that has the additional capability to cook - with lasers.
We are industrializing the next version of Foodini, dubbed FoodiniPro, which has one additional major piece of functionality that Foodini does not have: the capability to cook. It's a multifunctional kitchen appliance that cooks in a new, healthier way: we cook with lasers.
If you eat anything from a food manufacturer - like packaged food you buy in a supermarket - then you practically are already eating 3D printed food: a food manufacturer takes food, pushes it through machines, shapes it, forms it...
We’ve taken that same concept of a large food manufacturing facility and created a stylish appliance for your kitchen counter. But the big difference is we allow you to use your own fresh ingredients and customize your foods.
300+ customers around the world with over $1M in revenue.

Our story
It all started with a friend who owned a vegan bakery and wanted to expand outside the country. But there was a problem—80% of product costs were tied to manufacturing and distribution... with raw ingredients and labor accounting for only 20%. So, we thought of building a mini-manufacturing kitchen appliance. Read our story in full.
