The challenges of 3D food printing in malaysian manufacturing firms: a preliminary study

Additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing creates three-dimensional objects by adding materials using digital format files to achieve the desired shape. Researchers worldwide, including those in Malaysia, have shown interest in AM for over a decade. Although 3D printing has gained widespread adop...
