ANNOUNCING PHOTOMAKE: Turn hand drawings into real life things! September 24
As promised, here’s your opportunity to check out our shiny new magical product …
Introducing Photomake
You can now turn digital photos of your hand drawings into real life products simply by uploading them to the Ponoko website.
This means you do not need to use graphics software to make something. This significantly lowers the entry barrier for all creative people who can hand draw using pen and paper but do not know how to use design software.
But if you want to use graphics software like Photoshop, GIMP or MS Paint to upload any jpg, gif or png files, you can do that too.
Take a test drive (no login required)!
To turn a photo of your hand drawn design or a jpg, gif or png file into the real life thing, just upload your design here.
Quick draw bonus
And don’t forget that if you’re one of the first 100 to make something using Photomake, you’ll get an insane deal on the shipping costs (like $7.60 to anywhere in the US!). Given the speed at which you can use Photomake these will go quick, so you might like to head over there now.
Enjoy 
(And please do write up your comments below - we’d love to hear what you have to say).

[…] Recently Ponoko announced an upcoming feature release, something to make digital design and fabrication easier and more approachable then invited people to guess. So I guessed, not having “the answer” in mind till I started writing my comment but when I wrote I had that sense of knowing I was right. […]
