Lifecasting

Lifecasting is a process of making a mold directly from a living person's body by applying a mold-making material, such as alginate or silicone, to the skin. The resulting mold can be filled with plaster to create a hard positive copy, which can then be used for various applications, including special effects in film and theater, art, and design. Lifecasting requires attention to detail and a solid understanding of the materials used.
