Making custom chocolates and candies with the CarveWright

[bluecobra]

I ran a vac-forming machine for a few months at a short term job back in the nineties.

You'd make the mold's inverse out of casting acrylic, place it on the machine, throw a sheet of plastic in the clamp jig and press the cycle button.

The heating elements heated the plastic at a pre-determined rate then dropped it over the mold as the vacuum kicked in.

If you could find a shop that could vac form for you... Maybe you could make the molds out of the corian and use the food safe mold plastic to make the molds?

I don't know how well the corian would release the mold once it cooled or how much detail would be retained, just an idea.
