     I recall a presentation he made at the First General Conference on Nanotechnology, in which he described some work they had done with stereolithography models. The materials and models were previded by AlliedSignal, which was just getting ready to enter the RP materials market at that time. I don't know if stereolithography or the materials used were particularly meaningful, however. The advantage that Pique described was that it was easier to find binding sites on the molecules with a physical model, by feel, than by sight on the computer. Literally, they did it with their eyes closed. I don't know if they have continued this work.
