摘要
The process of converting structural models derived from single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments into physical models for the purposes of visualization/communication and collaboration by the use of three-dimensional (3D) printing techniques is described. Digital information regarding the relative positioning of atoms in a crystal structure is translated, using a suite of computer programs, into a 3D computer model of a solid form, corresponding to that information which can then be saved in a file format for 3D printing. These files are then used to produce to-scale physical models of the structural information using two different 3D printing methodologies.
