I’m sorry, are you looking at my nose? You are? It’s oddly beautiful in it’s realism and splotchiness you say? Why, thaaaaaank you! You might like to know it’s fresh out of the design lab.

In the past, they’ve added services such as 3D printing and have provided access to a huge catalog of electronics components. Now, they’re announced one more way to butcher that beautiful, flat-packed wood. Now, they are bringing us CNC routing with the new launch of Personal Factory 5. But that’s not all. They’re also launching maker apps – through the Ponoko App Gateway. What does this mean for you?
