FOOD PRINTER WITH MOVEMENT COORDINATES

A system for producing a food item includes a plate and a printhead disposed above the plate for extruding an edible printing mass to generate a three-dimensional configuration of printing mass on the plate. A cooking head is disposed above the plate for cooking a three-dimensional configuration of printing mass on the plate. A rotation device rotates the plate and the printhead and/or cooking head relative to one another about an axis of rotation, so as to position the printhead and/or cooking head above different points on the plate located on a circle around the axis of rotation. A radial device varies a radius of the circle. A control unit obtains a recipe for producing a cooked food item and controls the printhead, the cooking head and the radial device in accordance with the recipe to produce the cooked food item.
