AR Plugin for SketchUp and 3d Max August 5
Augmented Reality Plugins Bring Your Models To Life
Many of you have been using Sketchup to build your models for manufacturing with Ponoko. Thanks to a new plugin called AR-Media, you can now view your handiwork before taking the plunge into laser cut or 3d printed reality.

How do you think this would change your workflow with Ponoko?
Click through for an example using a furniture concept, with a bit of jazz fusion thrown in just for good measure.
Although it is usually used for architecture and large scale models, I think that augmented reality visualisations like these could really get interesting when some of our Ponoko laser cut jewellery designers jump on board.

At about 400$ for the 3DS Max version, it sounds like a good deal but some of this functionality, actually… much of it, is already available in 3DS Max from the get-go.
