This research explores how emerging technologies can transform medical data from 2-dimensional visualisations, into highly intricate and tactile 3D-printed objects. By migrating scientific data through a bitmap printing process, a range of novel outcomes are presented. Body matter is transformed into forms which explore visualisation methods, aesthetic objects, and personalised products. The resulting physical outcomes examine how anatomical qualities hidden within the human body can be visually represented in a design context.
