Interdisciplinarity

     Chemical formulas cannot effectively render the structural complexity of biological molecules and are most commonly received by students and pupils as mere images. However, the physical models of molecules allow their manipulation in three-dimensional space, providing a multisensory learning experience and a better understanding of a basic concept in the life sciences – the link between the structure of a molecule and its function. The modelemoleculare.ro team creates molecular models on request, adapted to the didactic content of each educator who teaches in the life sciences. All models comply with scientific rigor and are specially designed to allow easy manufacturing using inexpensive 3D printers. The educator thus offers his audience the chance to explore the molecular universe using 3D printed three-dimensional models.
     More details about the process of obtaining a 3D printable molecular model are available here: https://modelemoleculare.ro/obtinere-modele/. A collection of models made by the modelemoleculare.ro team and available for free is available here: https://modelemoleculare.ro/product-category/modele-standard-tiparibile-3d/.
      The modelemoleculare.ro project aims to bring the molecular universe to classrooms, seminars and laboratories in universities and high schools using 3D printing.
