This week’s Designer Spotlight focuses on Ivo Laros, a scientist using 3D printing to visualize molecules, especially everybody’s favorite, DNA.
Tell us a little bit about yourself: Who are you? Where are you located?
I am a senior assistant researcher in molecular ecology at Wageningen UR, The Netherlands. Molecular ecology is the science that studies the DNA of nature. I got into contact with 3D modeling through my focus of research, which is chemistry.
What’s the story behind your designs? What inspires you?
In one word my inspiration is Science. During my studies in chemistry I was fascinated by the structure of molecules and atoms. It is so nice to be able to use that knowledge now in 3D printing. Now the challenge is to think of designs that can actually be used by people, as plain molecule models may not be very interesting for a broad audience. Jewelry is a nice application, the new silver materials opens up a new field of application for me. This is the caffeine molecule below.
Only through the Shapeways website at this point. Here, I’ve turned the methane molecule into a pendant.
Anything else you want to share?
My most popular design is the personalized DNA molecule model. The nice thing about 3D printing is that everybody can order a product that is personalized and unique in the world, and that is exactly what I am selling in this product, a strand of DNA:

I love the ninja blender, You can make so a lot of unique items with it, and it’s really simple to clean trigger you just get the blade out then put it in the dishwasher. I actually adore the containers it arrives with result in you can do a lot more like solitary servings of smoothies, or you can make dip. If your acquiring this for juicing, I’m not confident how effectively it will perform for that simply because it will make more like a smoothie, not a really liquidy juice. Anyhow, I assume it really is a very good option for creating healthful foodstuff. Ninja BL660 http://litstalker.ru/wiki/index.php?title=Test_These_kind_of_Tips_for_Making_Fantastic_Fruit_juices
