Lifecasting

<p>Lifecasting is the process of creating a three-dimensional copy of a living <a href="/facts/Human/rlcTENsr">human</a> body, through the use of <a href="/facts/Molding_(process)/1GkAeyCx">molding</a> and <a href="/facts/Casting/cFJ0hPuU">casting</a> techniques. 
In rare cases lifecasting is also practiced on living <a href="/facts/Animal/4b8J33nd">animals</a>. 
The most common lifecasts are 3D hand casting, casting of torsoes, pregnant bellies, faces, and genitalia and it is possible for an experienced lifecasting practitioner to copy any part of the body. Lifecasting is usually limited to a section of the body at a time, but full-body lifecasts are achievable too. Compared with other three-dimensional representations of humans, the standout feature of lifecasts is their high level of <a href="/facts/Realism_(arts)/qn1xtzkf">realism</a> and detail. Lifecasts can replicate details as small as <a href="/facts/Fingerprint/5WLcd20T">fingerprints</a> and <a href="/facts/Sweat_pore/T9nLT1V4">pores</a>.
