  We examine the latest data on the cluster MACSJ0717.5+3745 from the Hubble
Frontier Fields campaign. The critically lensed area is the largest known of
any lens and very irregular making it a challenge for parametric modelling.
Using our Free-Form method we obtain an accurate solution, identify here many
new sets of multiple images, doubling the number of constraints and improving
the reconstruction of the dark matter distribution. Our reconstructed mass map
shows several distinct central substructures with shallow density profiles,
clarifying earlier work and defining well the relation between the dark matter
distribution and the luminous and X-ray peaks within the critically lensed
region. Using our free-form method, we are able to meaningfully subtract the
mass contribution from cluster members to the deflection field to trace the
smoothly distributed cluster dark matter distribution. We find 4 distinct
concentrations, 3 of which are coincident with the luminous matter. The fourth
peak has a significant offset from both the closest luminous and X-ray peaks.
These findings, together with dynamical data from the motions of galaxies and
gas will be important for uncovering the potentially important implications of
this extremely massive and intriguing system.
