Description
Daniel Garcia-Gutierrez and colleagues explored in 2025 how to pair the IDDSI texture scale with 3D food printing for people with dysphagia, a swallowing disorder. Safe food for these patients must have a set texture, and the IDDSI scale gives shared levels for that. Printed food could offer meals that look good and still stay safe.
The team designed dishes by 3D printing and had both health workers and patients judge them. Twenty-four dishes passed, backed by many checks. Most fell at level four, a thick puree, and the rest at level three. Using the shared scale cut confusion about texture and helped set a standard process for printed meals.
