Food Print Exhibition

The title combines the words FOOD, as in nourishment, and PRINT, which is linked to the latest 3D printers. A subtle change in pronunciation from a voiced to unvoiced consonant unfolds the second meaning of this exhibition, a “footprint” as the impact of human activities on earth.

The main message of the exhibition is to reflect on the processes connected with food production. Mainly as consumers, our mostly unconscious choices have consequences for which we need to be responsible. This is an opportunity to be involved in these topics not only as active participants but also as company leaders that can manage the movements towards the sustainability of the whole system.

The FoodPrint Exhibition is open since the 4th of March until the 22nd of April 2020 at Satelit Galery, Bratislava (Slovak Republic).

All prints are concepts of design. Before applying them into real using it’s necessary to choose materials suitable for the asked use case.


Clean & Green by Dominika Špániková UTB ADE



Creating a sustainable ideal shape for growing plants without soil was the main objective in the creation of this 3D printed container. You can use it with any glass or jar containing a nutrient solution. Thanks to the simple shape Clean & Green can be used by a wide variety of people from beginners through the researchers to professionals anywhere around the globe.

This plant container was printed with PLA Extrafill “Traffic Black” on Trilab DeltiQ by the Product Design department at Tomas Bata University.

Instant Garden by Tomáš Palou UTB ADE

This well thought design functions as a self-watering planter that can be hung in any sunny spot. The rope on which you can hang the planter functions also as a watering wick cord and the water reservoir is detachable. This way the herbs are watered by gravity while redundant water is kept in the reservoir tank. There are also peat pellets and herb seeds inside the containers which will make planting your convenient garden so much easier.

The planter was printed with PLA Extrafill “Light Ivory” on Trilab DeltiQ by the Product Design department at Tomas Bata University.

Herb Attachment by Ninjee Orchibat UTB ADE



The concept of this handy tool was to prolong the shelf life of fresh herbs in a fridge. The attachment is put into standard kitchen jars with water. The practical design uses hydroponics principles. The 3D printed parts can be taken apart to make the manipulation and maintenance easier. As the product is a 3D printed object the model can be easily changed to fit other containers.

Cookie cutters Cut Out by Adriána Lišková and Barbora Semanová UTB ADE



Bake creatively without limits! These cookie cutters are a handy tool in your baking repertoire. They are inspired by the original Slovak folk embroidery and colors. The three shapes offer a wide range of different patterns that can be created. Thanks to a practical space-saving stackable design you can comfortably store them anywhere.

The Cookie cutters were printed with PLA Extrafill “Noble Blue” and “Traffic Red” on Trilab DeltiQ by the Product Design department at Tomas Bata University.

Badges with the opinion by Simona Frková UTB ADE



To reflect on pressing world issues, Simona Frková has decided to create a wearable statement that creatively points to serious topics in our society. Among topics that the badges depict are plastics in oceans, waste, importing of local food from abroad, battery farming practices, genetic modifications, or aesthetically imperfect vegetables. By wearing these badges, you can express disagreement with these issues, building awareness. The author added little more individuality to the pins by painting the details of each pin by hand.

The Badges were printed with PLA Extrafill “Noble Blue”, “Traffic Red”, “Traffic White” & “Metallic Grey” on Trilab DeltiQ by the Product Design department at Tomas Bata University.

Choco by Kateřina Kochánková UTB ADE



This double-sided chocolate mold was created by combining basic shapes to create a continuous motive. The idea is based on combinatorics. It’s a simple way to create a unique variable design. The chocolate is fairly easy to tip off the after it solidifies.

The Choco mold was printed with PLA Extrafill “Luminous Green”, “Turquoise Blue” and Crystal Clear, on Trilab DeltiQ by the Product Design Department at Tomas Bata University.

AVO – growing system by Karolína Krajčoviechová UTB ADE



This handy tool enables a comfortable hydroponic rooting of a seed into water. It consists of two parts that can be disassembled for easy cleaning and storing. The first part is made of a flexible filament Flexfill TPU 98A “Metallic Grey”. Thanks to the flexibility of this part, it can fit any glass easily. The second part is solid printed with PLA Extrafill “Traffic Black” and holds the cleaned seed or a pit with three spikes gently submerged in the water. The water can be changed easily every other day until the first root and sprout appear.

The growing system was printed on Trilab DeltiQ by the Product Design Department at Tomas Bata University.

Coffee Spoon by Simona Kopecká UTB ADE



The idea behind this design is to eliminate multiple disposable packagings into one. This standard Birchwood Coffee Stirrer was upgraded with additional water-soluble agents for coffee that would be usually packaged separately. Thanks to 3D printing, it was relatively simple to fabricate a mold for the coffee additives with the birchwood stirrer. This way, instead of a plastic stirrer, a sugar stick, and creamer, you’ll get all in one.

It was printed with PLA Extrafill “Traffic Black” & “Metallic Grey” on Trilab DeltiQ by the Digital Design department at Tomas Bata University.


The project, initiated by the Faculty of Multimedia Communications TBU in Zlin (CZ), is in a partnership with the Department of Furniture and Interior Design TU Zvolen (SK), Taipei Tech (TW), Universidade do Algarve (PT).
