Custom-made silicone molds
Apr 2023 - Jul 2024
What if chefs could create new dishes through new tools?
Many culinary ideas remain unrealized simply because the right mold doesn't exist. To challenge this problem, I used 3D printers to fabricate custom silicone molds that bring a chef's vision into reality.
Traditionally, producing original silicone molds required metal mold design which is expensive and limited to large-scale orders. With this method, a base mold is printed with a 3D printer to make custom orders affordable even from a single piece. Tuile molds, often imported, feature Japanese motifs such as traditional patterns and seasonal flowers, gaining enthusiastic response from chefs.
Note: For hygiene and safety, the molds passed testing at Japan Food Research Laboratories.
This service is now closed, but I spent precious time learning through collaborations with talented chefs.
