The TechCrunch40 is being held this week and Ponoko made an appearance.
Ponoko is a site where you can turn your product ideas into income. When they were in Beta, I immediately went to sign up. Even though I didn’t get an invitation I’m still excited about using it now that it’s out of beta. Now I just have to wait till their servers can handle the load of traffic they’ve gotten.
My view is that this will actually change the way people think about the possibilities they have for creating their own design. It’s not just an idea anymore. It’s a prototype or a product that has the potential of bringing in money.
Thier blog is also a good source of insight on design and news on Ponoko.
Go check out the possibilities.

Hi Josh, cheers for the comment. We’ve just had an amazing few days at TechCrunch 40. And the resulting interest has been simply fantastic. We’re pretty excited about where we’re heading over the next few months (let alone years!) and it’s pretty awesome to have had such an amazing amount of feedback since our appearance. At present we’re limited to laser cut products, but we do see the other options (3D printing etc) very much a part of our (not so far in the future) future! The traffic has been INSANE, but our group of guys have been working day and night to make it work, cheers to them! Ponoko for all is going to just be a blast! Cheers, Nic - Ponoko Online PR Chick.
Congrats for the the success! I can’t wait to see what Ponoko does and I’m looking forward to trying it out. All the best to you.
