The brand's success story began in the mid-90s when Tim Herman, a faculty member of the Medical College of Wisconsin Biochemistry Department, started folding backbone models of protein structures using steel wire. However, everything changed when Tim discovered 3D printing technology and established the Center for BioMolecular Modeling (CBM) at the Milwaukee School of Engineering.

With grants awarded to CBM and 3D Molecular Designs, the brand expanded its reach, providing professional development courses for high school teachers and producing durable classroom sets. Today, the company is dedicated to researching the integration of physical models with innovative digital media, creating augmented reality modules for student learning. Behind the scenes, a passionate team, including Tim, his wife Diane, their children, and other talented partners, work tirelessly to drive the brand's success.

Their remarkable efforts and creative contributions have shaped 3D Molecular Designs into the leading company that it is today.
