"The goal is to print out a sheet of pork:

The two aims that will be pursued in this Phase I application are 1) to fabricate 3D cellular sheets composed of porcine cells and 2) to mature the cellular sheets into muscle tissue and measure its meat characteristics.

The printer itself will have "bio-ink" cartridges which contain cells of different sorts suspended in gels - muscle cells, fibroblasts and fatty adipocytes - and can be applied in computer-controlled sychrony. Once it has been "printed", the proto-steak will be established in a bioreactor where it will be grown and shaped."

I love the idea of going to an internet cafe to print/photocopy a bacon sammidge on the way to work. The future is bright!
