These Incredible 3D-Printed Beverages were created by a Robot using Food-grade Inks - Yanko Design
Briefly

The Japanese beverage company Suntory has introduced a robot named Lidris, which creates 3D illustrations directly inside beverages. At Expo 2025 Osaka, visitors enjoy lemonade with the expo's official character, MYAKU-MYAKU, visually embedded within the liquid. Lidris employs drink-drawing technology to produce precise and stable artwork that remains undistorted regardless of drink movement. The inks used are natural, food-safe, and environmentally friendly. This innovation merges technology and art, transforming ordinary drinks into extraordinary experiences through simple instructions.
Lidris creates artwork inside a liquid ever so precisely without distortion, ensuring that the illustration does not distort when shaking or moving the drink.
Suntory's Lidris robot employs drink-drawing technology to create hyper-realistic illustrations directly within beverages using food-safe inks made from natural ingredients.
