Dear Rene
I have used a company called Imaage in Australia for engraving
proteins in glass blocks. Their web address is
http://www.imaage.com.au/
I send them VRML output from MOLSCRIPT and that usually works fine.
You need to generate the image in a single color (black), though you
can use a second color if you want them to map that to a different
dot density of laser etching.
cheers

Dear all,
Anyone know about how to transfer a 3D image (ligand + protein
surface) into a format that would be compatible for 3D laser
engraving in plexiglass.
I am aware of a few cies that can provide the final product (see
below) but we are looking for file format information
Luminorum (UK)
Crystal Protein (California)
Molecular dimension (UK and USA)
Any others?
Thanks,
René
