Welcome to the
Center for BioMolecular Modeling


The Center for BioMolecular Modeling uses five different rapid prototyping technologies to create molecular models in a variety of different formats. For a brief description of each of the RP technologies, select from the links provided below:

Models can be created in virtually all formats that are commonly displayed by molecular visualization software. Examples of models created in different formats can be found on the formats section of the 3D Molecular Designs web site.
