FOODres.AI is an AI-powered 3D printer that converts household food waste into functional objects developed by MIT graduates Biru Cao and Yiqing Wang.
The desktop printer integrates object recognition, material processing, and additive manufacturing to offer an innovative approach to domestic waste management.
A mobile application supports the system, identifying food waste types and providing suitable 'print recipes' for creating coasters, containers, and decorative items.
FOODres.AI enables localized material reuse through automation, modularity, and user accessibility, aligning with sustainability efforts to reduce food waste.
