Project Description

This research will establish a modeling method of food to simulate food manufacturing and food eating processes. We will build a simulation model of manufacturing process of Japanese sweets.

2017/8/10	World Business Satellite Japan (TV Tokyo) introduced our research on food modeling and printable hands.
2009/11/20	Experience on Japanese sweet making at Oimatsu.
2008/5/27-30	Presentation at FOOMA JAPAN 2008 Academic Plaza. (HP)
