We think data from these experiments could likely be converted into very cool 3D models suitable for printing. Who knew that the surface of cells could be so unusual? We would if we had printed out models of them. Imagine printing versions of a cell as it goes through its lifecycle.
Bringing the microscopic into the macroscopic world should be one of the common uses of 3D printing – if only the models were a bit more available.
