In order to reproduce this industrially again and again, a negative model of the object is created, for example, a basic shape of the article is made of latex, which acts like a three-dimensional photo negative. If this mold is filled with plaster or other materials in the next step of the production, a copy of the prototype that is ready for sale is created.

Negative and positive models can thus be created in the private sphere, one of the best-known forms is the preparation of the human face seen as a positive model.
