[Vacuum Forming Applications] Simulating Realistic Handicrafts: Which Number Would You Bet on to Win This Round?
Las Vegas Roulette (Chocolate Version): What number are you betting on this time? French pastry chef Amaury Guichon is known for designing exquisite chocolate pastries with incredibly realistic shapes that often create unbelievable illusions. From Ferris wheels and robots to motorcycles… his designs come in countless sizes and shapes ( Click to see: French pastry chef's go-to artist, creating realistic desserts in countless shapes! ). This time, Amaury used vacuum forming technology to design a luxurious pinball roulette wheel, handcrafted by Amaury himself. See it now:
Roulette is a common game in Las Vegas casinos and a symbol of high-end gambling cities internationally. The roulette wheel has evenly sized grooves, distinguished by red, green, and black colors, each marked with a number. A wooden axle stands in the center of the wheel, controlling its rotation. Players place their bets and drop steel balls into the wheel as it spins. The winner is determined by which numbered groove the ball lands in after the wheel stops spinning.

Simulated wooden table, smooth material
After Emory completes the cake base, she places the disc-shaped object into the FormBox vacuum forming machine , uses a vacuum forming material sheet , and presses down the handle to shape it. In just 3 seconds, she gets a disc-shaped mold!
The roulette wheel is framed by a wooden table, and its dark, translucent coffee color is perfectly represented by chocolate! Next, here's a little trick to make the wood smooth after being varnished: before pouring other ingredients into the mold, brush on a layer of chocolate and grease, and then fill it with the ingredients. This makes it easier to unmold, prevents sticking to the mold, and results in a smoother and more complete finished product.
( FormBox is a food safety certified transparent injection-molded sheet that is safe for use in the food industry and can also be comfortably applied to the skin.)
The reusable nature of vacuum-formed material sheets allows for the rapid and unlimited replication of identical objects by simply creating a mold. Ingredients are poured into a hollow chocolate disc according to preference, and the two halves of the disc are then combined to complete the roulette table design!
Silicone molding, mass production mold
The rotating shaft in the center of the turntable is also made of chocolate blocks. In addition to using vacuum forming technology to quickly make molds according to the shape requirements, it can also make molds that can be mass-produced through 3D printing and silicone casting ( click to see: silicone casting, 3D printing to make soap! ) .
Next, apply black, red, and green chocolate sauce evenly to the special food material sheet, use a shaped dusting board to imprint the numbers on the roulette wheel, and finally spray with imitation gold leaf spray to achieve a high-end embellishment effect!
Isn't it so exquisite that you almost don't want to eat it? It's a true work of art! The food industry boasts a wealth of production techniques, from vacuum forming and 3D printing to laser cutting , all of which can be used in combination.
