Swift and Stella a Modern Post Mortem

3D Printing Provides a New Look at Jonathan Swift and Stella Johnson While there are several portraits of Swift in existence as well as a death mask, there are no such images of Esther, but that didnt stop a team of forensic anthropologists from the Human Remains Services Ireland (HRSI) from attempting to create an image of what she may have looked like. The first step was to scan the skulls for both Swift and Johnson and have them, 3Dprinted so that an artist could work with them. For this, they turned to Dr. Peter Knief, head of the Consultancy in Applied Research, Engineering, and Development (CARED) who captured the data from the bones and turned that into a pair of 3D printed skulls. The material for the print was provided by 3DOMFuel which created a bespoke filament that gave the skulls the feel of the original bone. The actual reconstructions were undertaken by Dr. Christopher Rynn, a craniofacial anthropologist and forensic artist from the University of Dundee.
