Ponoko
Shapeways
make-it-yourself trend
On a sidenote: while Ponoko and Shapeways focus on remote printing, Japanese Tsukulus lets customers print 3D figurines on the spot in their Tokyo showroom (see Akibanana for a summary in English). One for Disney, Mattel and friends to look into? Ready-made figurines are one thing. But let customers change a character’s clothes, accessories and pose, and then manufacture their own unique rendition on the spot, and you’ve turned a product back into an experience.
