Introducing Mighty Models!

We're excited to announce the launch of our new 3D print models, Mighty Models! These models are bigger and better than our previous mini models - best of all they're less likely to break! The Mighty Model Channel Protein Collection^© is our first Mighty Model collection and includes the Aquaporin, Potassium Ion Channel, and Sodium Ion Channel models. When using these interactive models and following a phenomenon-driven molecular story, your students will discover how water and ions move in and out of cells. They'll also explore the selectivity factors of each channel, and using our new augmented reality enhancements, they'll dive deeper into the structure of each channel. Want to be one the first teachers with Mighty Models in the classroom? We're currently accepting pre-orders for shipping in April!

We're at NSTA Atlanta

Join us at Booth 1600 to try our augmented reality enhancements for the first time and interact with the Mighty Models for yourself! Join us for in-depth sessions all week in Room B201 featuring the AR and Mighty Models, plus our classic kits and models. Click here to view our full session schedule and make your plans to see us today! 

Thank you Model Teachers!

3DMD Model Teachers^© are dedicated to spreading the joys of modeling, and we're extremely thankful to Anne-Marie Nickel, Stephanie Ruder, and Choi Manner for each hosting a session at WSST Madison last weekend! And, though she was feeling under the weather and was unable to present, we want to thank Tanya Monet-Bakken for her work in preparing a presentation as well!

Science Spotlight

Peter Agre is a 2003 Nobel Prize winner, "for the discovery of water channels.” Specifically, he was recognized for his discovery of aquaporin water channels with Roderick MacKinnon. Since then, he has overseen scientific training and research into Malaria all over the world through the John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. He has also been an advocate in science diplomacy, leading multiple visits to North Korea, Cuba, Myanmar, and Iran. Here Peter is holding the aquaporin model we made of his discovery, read more about him here!
