This articles talks about a dutch artist named Caspar Berger who took scans of his body in order to get an accurate 3d reproduction of his skeleton. Each bone is unique to the person to it is very important that the bones be exact replicas. After printing the skeleton, Berger sent his 3d skull print to an expert in facial reconstruction and had them remake his face on the skull. The reconstructors were not able to see the artist’s face and were only given his ethnicity and age to go by.
I really respect Berger’s use of this technology and taking advantage of the fact that technology and 3d printing can help him print things that were impossible ten years ago. He really commands the media and its interesting to see his innovative approach with using a 3d printer.
