3D-printed beef could be coming to a plate near you. A Spanish company Novameat is speeding up its production as the need for plant-based(植物性的）products around the world increases.

　　Founded in 2018,Novameat makes beans and corn taste and look like real beef by 3D-printing technology. Alexandre Campos，Novameat's business development manager, said the company's goal is to reduce the influence caused by cattle feeding.

　　“The idea behind this is to try to solve all of these problems that the animal meat industry brings to our planet, to the animals and to our health.So that's why we're trying to bring people with more choices of food.In this way they can replace animal beef with something that is better for the planet,"said Alexandre.

　　A scientist attending the Barcelona's Mobile World Meeting 2021 got to try the beef.“It didn't have the feeling of traditional beef.But I did not expect that the texture(質(zhì)感) would be so well achieved. It was the first time I had tried it and I thought it was still in a more basic phase(階段），but both the taste and the texture gave me a surprise.”

　　With further development in the technology,Novameat said it might one day be possible to produce up to 500kilograms of 3D-printed beef per hour.The company decides to sell its beef to supermarkets, and also to restaurants interested in this product.
