In the breakfast room, we had this machine:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"3D printing of pancakes\" width=\"825\" height=\"464\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/l8yFYLFjIDU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This is actually a powerful example of how 3D technology can be said to appear in diverse fields of everyday life. While it is trivial as a machine (squeeze dough on conveyor belt, press between two hot conveyor belts, export onto plate) it minimizes food waste and produces pancakes that are indistinguishable from man-made ones. Well, maybe\u00a0you would have more variety in the look and feel of the product, and definitely more butter in the frying stage. But as pancakes go, these are just as edible.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1107\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1107\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sabulo.com\/sb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/WP_20160330_07_57_46_Pro.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1107\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1107\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sabulo.com\/sb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/WP_20160330_07_57_46_Pro-300x169.jpg?resize=300%2C169\" alt=\"Finished print with maple syrup\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sabulo.com\/sb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/WP_20160330_07_57_46_Pro.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sabulo.com\/sb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/WP_20160330_07_57_46_Pro.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sabulo.com\/sb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/WP_20160330_07_57_46_Pro.jpg?resize=1024%2C577&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sabulo.com\/sb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/WP_20160330_07_57_46_Pro.jpg?resize=250%2C141&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sabulo.com\/sb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/WP_20160330_07_57_46_Pro.jpg?resize=150%2C84&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sabulo.com\/sb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/WP_20160330_07_57_46_Pro.jpg?w=1650&amp;ssl=1 1650w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sabulo.com\/sb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/WP_20160330_07_57_46_Pro.jpg?w=2475&amp;ssl=1 2475w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1107\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Finished print with maple syrup<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Because I teach user interface design, I always consider any machines from that vantage point too. In this example, we have a really minimalistic user interface &#8211; just one button labeled OK. I would actually call the button GO, because OK implies you are accepting something, in this case the starting of the printing process. But it\u00a0gets the job done, so it is to be considered optimal for this process. Indeed, when compared with the toaster next to it, one that had three buttons and one knob for toast degree and one lever for starting the toast, this can be called simplistic. But then, you don&#8217;t really need all those buttons on the toaster.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the treadmill type toasters work better in a hotel setting than regular lever-operated ones, and this is a treadmill-type pancake printer.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_1106\" class=\"pvc_stats all  \" data-element-id=\"1106\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sabulo.com\/sb\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif?resize=16%2C16&#038;ssl=1\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, as I was attending a seminar at Universidad Europea de Madrid\u00a0(see previous blog entry) along with three students. we &hellip;
