Abstract
A method of producing a three dimensional section of polymerized liquid. The method includes providing a molding apparatus which includes a mold having at least one side, at least one piece of porous material adjacent to the one side of the mold and at least one support layer adjacent to the piece of porous material. The molding apparatus is clamped together and a liquid is added between the frame and the porous material. The filled molding apparatus is placed in a bath of polymerizing agent until the liquid polymerizes to form a three dimensional section.
