The NMUSAF currently utilizes over 100 Dorfman Museum Figures, Inc. and their application of Ethafoam (an inert, closed-cell foam) and polyester stockinette for conservation forms aligns with NMUSAF preservation standards and adheres to best practices established by the American Alliance of Museums (AAM) and the American Institute for Conservation (AIC). They possess a unique capacity to produce and deliver substantial quantities of forms within a consistent 6 8-week timeframe and their modular system, offering bodies, heads, hands, and legs separately, which allows for targeted replacement of individual components instead of having to purchase only full-body cast mannequins that require replacement even with minor damage. Dorfman Museum Figures, Inc. provides a variety of the NMUSAF needs, ranging from custom ethafoam and realistic figures to include storage and exhibit products, conservation forms, and realistic figures. They also accommodate non-standard requests, such as head mounts without mounting holes or black metal bases in lieu of the standard silver.
