But now quite delicate strata,
Driven by the printer’s data,
Could bypass those limitations—
Like jewelers’ imitations

Of objects shown with clarity
By manual dexterity
Applied to very fine gold wire
To make it loop and fold and gyre

In dainty frets and filigree,
Or leaves upon a bonsai tree;
Or openwork revealing more,
Like furniture seen through a door—

With an automated sprayer
Constructing layer by layer,
Within the device’s confines,
Original pasta designs.
