How else are hobbiests supposed to create Dwayne Johnson’s head on a hybrid penis/dinosaur body out of carrots?
Comment on 3D-printed carrot does not rely on large areas of land or maintenance costs, can be cheaper

I’m not the researcher, so it could just be that this was the most convenient option for their lab. Or it could be that injection molding creates too dense of an object to have the right texture.
Unclear based on this article, but my best guess would be that the portability of a resin based printer and the detail that it allows for is a good compromise for on-site food printing.
