Crystal structure models are used by material science professors to help explain how structure influences properties of various materials. Some models come in self assembly kits like the molymod line [https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/catalog/search?term=molymod&interface=All&N=0&mode=match%20partialmax&lang=fi&region=FI&focus=product] or molecular model company [https://web.archive.org/web/20200221030354/http://www.molecularmodelscompany.com:80/] that range 20-40 Euros, but more detailed models can run hundreds of Euros [https://www.3bscientific.com/crystal-models,pg_1479.html]. Some can even be thousands of euros - particularly for large scale or complex models. Ideally, anyone interested in material science could print these structures in any size or format for a few pennies.

Crystal structure models are used by material science professors to help explain how structure influences properties of various materials. Some models come in self assembly kits like the molymod line [1] or molecular model company [2] that range 20-40 Euros, but more detailed models can run hundreds of Euros [3]. Some can even be thousands of euros - particularly for large scale or complex models. Ideally, anyone interested in material science could print these structures in any size or format for a few pennies.
