A rough male form like an eggcrate is sufficient, but if the edges are calculated with sufficient accuracy then it can all be done with math. Else the lower form could stay in place, but the upper one would need to be hollowed out. How high on the body will the split be?

The laser stereolithography would do this,but I don't think that I qualify as a candidate.
Adam Smith said to build it at home unless outsourcing was cheaper.That would be in the tens of thousands of dollars,so it looks like more home brew for me.
If you can make it out to Ogden,dinner's on me.Gary found a local Mexican joint that,while not the Salt Flats Cafe,does have a pretty tasty dish!
