A system and method for measuring and developing a topography of a surface of a person or an object. The system includes a container having a flexible outer surface against which the person is to be placed. A deformable material located in the container can be rendered rigid while the person is positioned thereagainst to hold a shape of the outer surface of the container after the person is removed from against the container. A contact free measuring device is operatively connected to a memory device and arranged to measure distances from the measuring device to a plurality of points on the surface of the container and to store those distances in the memory device in digital form. A mounting mechanism may orient or couple the container to the measuring device, permitting the measuring device to be positioned and at least temporarily held fixed relative to the container within a predetermined distance range.
