REHOVOT, ISRAEL — Steakholder Foods Ltd., an international food tech company in the cultured meat industry, has announced the launch of its proprietary Light CAD Editor. The software offers a user-friendly interface that works seamlessly with the company’s fusion printers, enabling clients to create, test and optimize three-dimensional (3D) models and fibrous textures for Steakholder Foods’ 3D bioprinters. The software does not require third-party software or extensive computer-aided design (CAD) training.

The ability to customize textures on-site will empower clients to fine-tune their end products and provides an opportunity to more easily find ways to meet or exceed industry standards and consumer expectations.

“We know from experience that designing the best 3D-printed meat products involves a lot of trial and error, and that our customers need the tools to optimize their offerings,” said Itamar Atzmony, chief engineering officer at Steakholder Foods. “That’s why we’re not just offering 3D printing; we’re offering a comprehensive solution that allows our clients to customize like never before. As we move closer to commercial-scale production, this software will undoubtedly become an invaluable asset in creating products that truly meet consumer demands.”

Steakholder Foods continues to work at its endeavor to create products that mimic the texture, taste, and appearance of traditional meat and fish. This new layer of development to its fusion printers allows users to produce customized structures with textures similar to natural fibrous structures.
