Replica Foods, Traffic Cone Dispensers, Rocking Horses, London Taxis

How It's Made – Season 15

Real dishes are used to make silicone moulds from which durable plastic replica foods are cast, trimmed and hand-painted. Welded frames, motors and robotic arms form machines that deploy and retrieve traffic cones; hardwood pieces are carved and joined into traditional rocking horses; and purpose-built bodies, drivetrains and passenger compartments are assembled into London taxis.
