3D printing technology is advancing at a rapid pace, but it is difficult to find or create 3D-printable models that are scientifically accurate or medically applicable. The NIH 3D Print Exchange provides models in formats that are readily compatible with 3D printers, and offers a unique set of tools to create and share 3D-printable models related to biomedical science.

Design Thinking – Change Agent
Thinking like a designer transforms the way we approach problems and gives us a process for generating innovative solutions. It can help people creatively tackle any challenge. The basic approach is simple: You start by identifying and exploring a problem you want to take on. Then you brainstorm, imagining a whole slew of possible solutions. You choose the best few ideas and test them out with prototypes, using feedback to help you evolve and refine your ideas. And once you’ve tested and refined and arrived at a solution that works, you make it happen.
