| dc.description.abstract | This thesis compares nonindustrial, hobbyist materials and techniques for manufacturing multi-use molds for casting dozens of consistent and cost-effective complex objects out of plaster; in this case, skulls. Urethane, a pourable mold material, and latex, a spreadable mold material, were used to create molds and identify process issues. Plaster test casts were manufactured to identify defects; these defects were evaluated for their impact on the desired purpose and mitigation strategies were proposed. | en_US |
