To meet unique demands and stretch budgets, simulations will often be made rather than purchased. Although 3-dimensional printing can be useful, there are significant physical limitations of these materials. This project is intended to begin examining the physical properties of materials used in casting/molding that may be useful for simulant soft tissue creation.
