What will Ponoko do when affordable 3D printers and other technologies render their manufacturing services unnecessary? It’s too late for them to try to establish themselves as “the” marketplace for diy or design. (See: Etsy, Dawanda, Supermarket, etc.)

We use Ponoko to create all our stuff and they are amazing, I have a few projects which could give this new system a go and I look forward to testing it out! Great job Ponoko!

This isn’t a service for a graphics designer or for people who need exact precision. If you want that, use the main ponoko service. This service is designed to shrink the entrance barrier to personal fabrication (and, I suppose, increase ponoko’s profits), and for this job, it is perfect.

are they still based in new zealand? If so, the shipping is still way to expensive.

Nah. Just as ahead of the time as before. This time cutting corners.
Any graphic designer will tell you that tracing / vectorizing raster images is a tricky process that needs tweaking and post-trace corrections.
Will do for an ugly coaster. Totally useless if you want things fit.

It’s a catch22 here: if they do smoothing and approximation they improve on a jerky sketch, but they ruin the one where corners should be sharp and vice versa.

Very cool entry level service, and good timing for this release – one decent doodle and I could create a whole set of personalised xmas gifts!
