Staff and students at Michigan State University are using an unlikely technique to try and help police
solve a
murder case: a 3D
printed finger.
The team, lead by Department of Computer Science & Engineering professor Anil Jain, has been working on models of a deceased victim's digits to try and help a local force
unlock a phone.*
They're hoping the contents of the device will help them unravel the
mystery of how that person died.
