Abstract
A method, composition and kit that enable the creation of a three-dimensional object by the action of placing at least one molding composition of at least one color or type into a mold, and then subsequently placing the mold within a liquid hardening agent to cure and solidify the molding composition enough so the three-dimensional object can be removed from the mold and become an object of display or a toy to be played with.
Claims20
A method of making a three-dimensional object comprising:
- applying at least one molding composition to a mold and/or molding surface to create a molded composition form;
- providing a curing solution;
- immersing the molded composition form into the curing solution together with the mold and/or molding surface;
- curing the molded composition form in the curing solution;
- removing a cured or partially cured molded composition form from the mold and/or molding surface, the three-dimensional object being the cured or partially cured molded composition form.
