Your Face in Ice Cream Sculpture

This project develops a process for creating custom ice cream sculptures with detailed 3D facial features. 3D scanning technology captures facial details, which are processed in Autodesk Fusion 360 to generate G-code for a modified CNC machine that carves ultracold ice cream. Beyond food sculpting, this method has biomedical applications in bone graft fabrication and tissue engineering. Similar to ice cream, biomaterials like extracellular matrices (ECMs) and bone scaffolds require precise shaping under controlled temperatures and other variables, such as material composition, making this process relevant for custom implants and regenerative medicine.
