The article describes the technological process of manufacturing the material for the phantom of human gingiva for subsequent use as a part of a prototype of a robotic system for laser maxillofacial surgery. The prototype of the experimental setup is presented, which allows automating the process of manufacturing the material for this phantom. A preliminary comparison of cuts on the phantom material of gingiva with the biological material of a pig gingiva was made. It has been experimentally proven that the material is well suited for creating gingiva phantoms with complex geometric surface shapes in ways similar to the molding of plastics into silicone molds.
