Zusammenfassung:	A forming assembly for forming a wick is disclosed. The forming assembly includes a tube inflatable to an inflated configuration. A wick mesh is configured to be wrapped about the tube. The forming assembly further includes a sheath positionable about the tube and the wick mesh. The tube and the sheath are configured to compress the wick mesh and form the wick based on the tube inflating towards the inflated configuration. La présente invention divulgue un ensemble de formage pour former une mèche. L'ensemble de formage comprend un tube pouvant être gonflé dans une configuration gonflée. Un treillis de mèche est conçu pour être enroulé autour du tube. L'ensemble de formage comprend en outre une gaine pouvant être positionnée autour du tube et du treillis de mèche. Le tube et la gaine sont conçus pour comprimer le treillis de mèche et former la mèche sur la base du gonflement du tube vers la configuration gonflée.
