    There was a new product released last year, cannot remember the company but I'll try googling it- saw it on Tabletopgamingnews or somewhere like that.

    Esentially it is a gel block that you can make your own moulds from, once cast you heat the material and can make any other mould. Will work for most materials (obviously not heated metal) but latex or resin or 2 part putties.
