Although 3D printing has gained widespread adoption, 3D food printing is still in its early stages. This study aims to explore the
challenges of implementing 3D printing technology in Malaysian food manufacturing firms. The research utilized a semi-structured
interview method, conducting in-depth interviews with seven respondents. Snowball sampling was employed to identify potential
experts, building upon the recommendations of the initial respondent. The literature review identified nine challenges: timeconsuming
processes, lack of standardization, scarcity of expertise, extrusion molds and materials, limitations in scalability, cost,
food safety, halal compliance, and intellectual property. During the interviews, many respondents revealed that they had not yet
integrated 3D food printing into their operations. Furthermore, respondents introduced a new challenge, which was related to spare
parts and maintenance. In conclusion, the investigation revealed that the implementation of 3D food printing in Malaysian
manufacturing firms is still at an early stage, as evidenced by the challenges reported by the respondents |
