... why though? It's not like you're not having to grow the same amount of cells, etc, so you might as well just grow them in aero-/hydro-ponic systems...
It's combining two technologies. One for vat grown nutritional plant cells, and one for turning that vat grown cell into palatable shapes and textures.
It's an interesting tech and the more of these we try out, the more likely we'll find something that succeeds.
But why 3D printing instead of, say, injection molding? Seems overly complicated for making such a mundane shape.
Its resin printed not sure if you can injection mold it
