From the Ponoko website: "The post-industrial revolution is changing the way products are
created, traded and distributed. Now everyone can engage in the
manufacturing process through their PCs - bringing personal
manufacturing of individualized products to the masses.
Ponoko is the world's first personal manufacturing platform. It's
the online space for a community of creators and consumers to use a
global network of digital manufacturing hardware to co-create, make and
trade individualized product ideas on demand.
The ponoko.com
marketplace connects creators, consumers, digital manufacturing
hardware and service providers to promote, make and trade products on
Ponoko and social networking websites."
