Abstract

A method and system for a 3-D (three-dimensional) capture system including a flexible housing defining a substantially airtight reservoir therein, a volume of particles disposed in the reservoir, a volume of a gas and/or a liquid disposed in the reservoir; and a valve system in communication with the reservoir for selectively permitting the removal of at least the volume of the gas and/or the liquid therefrom. The captured 3-D impression is selectively erasable.
