Competitive Analysis

The food replicator system looks like a microwave, but has fewer buttons. The way it works is kind of complicated, but simple in a way. When you first finish cooking your first meal and put it on a plate, you place it into the replication system.  It takes a picture of the plate and starts to replicate!

The Imagine 3-D Printer is similar to my food replication system but very much different.  When it comes to delivering a finished food product, both machines do that but how they do it is what seperates them.  The 3-D food printer uses edible ink and food cartridges.  The machine prints food using multiple cartridges, going line by line until the desired shape is formed. My machine just simply takes a photo of what's inside and uses the ingredients given to make the same plate.  The food replication system is far less complicated and easier to clean.
