I just read a wonderful article in Inc. Magazine about a company in New Zealand, that is making designs come to life for anyone around the world. What I love about this concept is its simplicity – you think of something, they make it for you!
Ponoko owns and operates a laser cutter in their facility, and clients send them digital files of their designs, along with specs of the materials, and Ponoko makes the product for them. The beauty in all of this is that it is custom.
So go ahead – create something and send it to Ponoko to make for you! Or, just check out their online catalog of products available to the public. There are some very very cool designs.
