Making custom molds for chocolate, food and pastries can be extremely time consuming and expensive. 1 silicon mold can take 24 hours to make, cost $150 in materials and require specialist skills and knowledge. Creating a polycarbonate mold requires outsourcing to a factory, a lead time of weeks and can cost upwards of $1000. The FormBox enables chefs, pastry chefs, and chocolatiers the freedom to try shapes on the fly - to quickly create interesting shapes that bring the customers in (and also make their social media feed look interesting.)
In some cases there are clear business needs why a custom mold is required - for example a small batch of logo chocolates. And in other cases they simply want to experiment with a new shape to impress their customers (and peers).
Here's a short case study of how world renowned chef Damien Wager uses the FormBox :
