I'm excited to share my involvement in Project Vistegutten, where we brought the past to life by creating a 3D-printed skull from a medical CT scan. This project is a remarkable intersection of archaeology, forensic science, and advanced 3D technology.

Using DNA analysis and modern forensic techniques, scientists have reconstructed the face of a Stone Age boy who lived in Norway. The Vistegutten – the boy from Viste – died at only 14 years old. Although the cause of his early death remains unknown, it appears he was healthy. This 'lonely boy' with a deformed skull died in a cave in Norway 8,300 years ago.

My contributions included:
- CT Scan to 3D Printing
- Optimization for 3D Printing
- 3D Consulting with the sculptor and forensic artist Oscar D. Nilsson

This project demonstrates the power of technology in uncovering historical mysteries and emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration.
