Morphlour: Personalized Flour-based Morphing Food Induced by Dehydration or Hydration Method
summary
A single-material flour dough stamped with surface grooves morphs predictably: deeper grooves produce larger bends with a roughly linear relationship, hydration (boiling) starts visible change in ~2–3 minutes and reaches max curvature by ~15 minutes, while dehydration (baking) works but is slower. A design tool outputs G-code for a customized CNC stamping head, dough dries on metal meshes, and prototypes include flat-pack pasta for hikers, self-assembling cookies, tacos, and noodle bowls. A 6-person tasting shows identical flavor but recommends cooking 1–2 minutes longer.
