Israel-based Aleph Farms and its research partner at the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology have created the world’s first 3D-printed rib eye steak. The team used a special three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting technology and natural building blocks of meat, which are essentially real cow cells, without genetic engineering and immortalization. This 3D bioprinting technology actually prints living cells that are then incubated to grow, differentiate, and interact, in order to acquire the texture and qualities of a real meat.
A proprietary system, similar to the vascularization that naturally occurs in tissues, allows the passage of nutrients across the thicker tissue and grants the steak with the similar shape as well as structure of its native form as found in livestock before / during cooking. This results in a delicious tender, juicy rib eye steak that you would purchase from a market.
- 1.Auto Bed Leveling: Upgraded CR Touch 16-point automatic bed leveling technology saves you in the trouble of manual leveling. Easy to use, the intelligent leveling system can automatically compensate for the printing height of different points of the hot bed. It saves much more time for customers in long-time leveling adjustment, quickly finish the leveling process
- 2.Smooth Feeding and Quick Heat Dissipation: Full-metal extruder with greater force enables smooth feeding, reducing the risk of nozzle blockage. Corrugated heat sink enlarges the radiating area, enabling fast cooling down
- 3.Silent Mainboard: Low-decibel operation ensured by a silent mainboard, will not bothering study or work. Which has stronger anti-interference, faster and more stable motion performance, silent printing and low decibel operation, create a quiet environment
This breakthrough reflects an artistic expression of the scientific expertise of our team. I am blessed to work with some of the greatest people in this industry. We recognize some consumers will crave thicker and fattier cuts of meat. Additional meat designs will drive a larger impact in the mid and long term. This milestone for me marks a major leap in fulfilling our vision of leading a global food system transition toward a more sustainable, equitable and secure world,” said Didier Toubia, Co-Founder and CEO of Aleph Farms.
