As if figuring out the proper print cartridge for your home computer isn’t difficult enough, along comes Electrolux with: the 3D molecular food printer. Yes, you read that correctly.

As part of the company’s annual Design Lab competition, undergrad and graduate industrial design students are tasked with coming up with home appliance inventions that are likely to take root in the next 90 years.

Which brings us to one of the more interesting finalists, the Moléculaire, a CNC food printer that prepares everything from basic to complex food recipes using layering printing techniques to create 2- and 3-dimensional foods. The secret is the ability to use small food particles from a multitude of ingredients. Designed by Nico Kläber at the Köln International Schools of Design in Germany, Molèculaire assures every meal will taste great, albeit somewhat geometric. So is cartridge number 45 peas or green beans?
