With increasing the human population and the advent of a machine-driven lifestyle, the use of modern technologies has created multiple ways to make human life easier. Among these, people are seeking to produce and consume food through various methods that minimize waste and pollution while ensuring safer and more convenient food production. One of these innovative solutions is the use of 3D printers in modern food technology and packaging production, which can significantly reduce pollution and waste. Initially, the focus will be on edible inks, their characteristics, and how 3D printers work with edible inks and extrusion. Then, the feasibility of essential components of food, including carbohydrates, proteins, and fats for 3D printing of food products will be discussed. Finally, the article will cover the production of food packaging and its various types using 3D printers. 3D printers represent advanced technology that has recently entered the food industry and food packaging. Also, this technology is particularly useful in the packaging sector. The aim of this paper is to enhance familiarity with the use of 3D printers in food packaging and food technology.
