I've been working on this method for the past few years as a way to create high quality/accuracy molds using relatively inexpensive medium density (tyically 15 lbs.) tooling foam and a bagging film called Stretchelon. I've decided to "open source" the whole concept, as I'm hoping others will take it up and find it useful as well.

I've made a wide variety of parts using this technique - you'd be shocked how well the film can conform to compound curves and such.
