Method and apparatus for molding and replicating minute surface characteristics

摘要

A method and apparatus for reproducing in minute detail a surface underwater. The apparatus consists of a layer of wax supported in a frame for movement into and out of contact with the surface to be reproduced, there being provided means for heating wax material to soften it and means for withdrawing the water from between the wax and surface to be molded to provide a substantially water free surface for molding.
