How to get your products Italian made & shipped

First, set the location preference of your personal factory to Italy (instead of USA, NZ or Germany) and accept Vectorealism’s terms and conditions.

Then, create your product in one of two ways:

1) Upload a design and add materials (just like you have done previously); and / or

2) Change the materials of an existing design tagged with a NZ, US or German flag. To do this you click on the product image, click on ‘View details’ of the materials attached to this design. Use the ‘Delete’ button to remove the previous material, and then add your new material chosen from the Vectorealism catalog.

Your new product will be tagged with a Italian flag indicating it will be made by and shipped from Vectorealism.

You can change the your personal factory location at any time
You can make and ship products from any hub simply by changing the location preference before you add materials to a design. In effect, the only thing that determines whether a product is made and shipped from a particular hub is where the materials are sourced.

Now 4 materials catalogs to choose from
Ponoko shows the USA materials catalog by default. You can view the other catalogs by using the US/NZ/Germany/Italy toggle button at the top right hand side of the fantastical materials catalog.

Go to it!
We’re very excited to have Vectorealism join the party and create a second European making hub – and we hope you will be too. It’s another step in our mission to connect creators, fabricators, materials suppliers and buyers of products in a way that makes it easy and affordable for anyone to make almost anything.

So what are you waiting for? Get going with the mighty Milan!

Oh, and don’t forget they are having a launch special $1 per minute (not $2.50) for making – ends midnight Monday May 31^st!
