    But why 3D printing instead of, say, injection molding? Seems overly complicated for making such a mundane shape.

      I’m not the researcher, so it could just be that this was the most convenient option for their lab. Or it could be that injection molding creates too dense of an object to have the right texture.

      Unclear based on this article, but my best guess would be that the portability of a resin based printer and the detail that it allows for is a good compromise for on-site food printing.
