This study tested the ability of a new product to create three-dimensional footwear impressions.
Abstract
Footwear examiners occasionally find it necessary to make three-dimensional test impressions of footwear when they are comparing the footwear of photographs of three-dimensional crime scene impressions. There are several products available for such use. Some are polymers that require mixing and hardening. Some are foam products that do not render fine detail. A new product, Bubber, was tested and was found to be very easy to use. It rendered very fine detail that could be photographed and cast with dental stone. References and figures (Published Abstract)
