Dr. Matthew Ross talks with John Higgins about the problems he has solved for Fred Hutch researchers using a donated 3D printer. Ross, the communications liaison for Fred Hutch Cancer Center's Basic Sciences Division, used the printer to fabricate small parts, make customized tools and create scale models of life's smallest molecular machines. Scientists and aspiring scientists can hold these models in their hands to see — and feel — their shape to infer their function.

Key takeaways

  • Dr. Matthew Ross uses a donated 3D printer to make spare parts, customized tools and models of life's smallest molecular machines for teaching and learning.

  • 3D printing helps the Basic Sciences Division maintain older, specialized equipment, saving money that can be reinvested in research.

  • Scale models of proteins that researchers can hold in their hands provide tangible information about their structure, making the visual science of structural biology more accessible to someone with visual impairments.
