  Accurate physical modeling with 3D-printing techniques could lead to new
approaches to study structure and dynamics of biological systems complementing
computational methods. Computational biology has become an important part of
research over the last couple of decades. Now 3D printing technology opens the
door for a new field, Physical Biomodeling, at the intersection of experimental
data, computational biology and physical modeling for study of biological
systems, such as protein folding at nano-scale. Here I explore this new domain
of precision physical modeling and correlate it with existing visualization and
computational systems and future possibilities. Dynamic physical models can be
designed to-scale that can serve as research tools in future along with
existing biocomputational tools and databases, adding a third angle to tackle
unsolved scientific problems.
