What kinds of scientists and designers use Zometool?
Because Zometool replicates so many natural structures and can build so many different geometric designs, it is of great value for many professionals. Mathematicians use Zometool to model everything from networks in discrete mathematics, to group theory, and projection models (shadows) of theoretical 4-dimensional objects. Crystallographers, chemists and material scientists build lattices of natural crystals and quasi-crystalline materials, Buckyballs and other Fullerenes, and models of chromosome bonds and protein molecules. Engineers and computer scientists design space frames, make visual models of data bases, and numerous other uses.
