How it works - for creators
Ponoko is the easiest and most profitable way for creators to get their products to market:
No upfront costs. No minimum orders. No inventory. Simply click to design, make, sell and deliver your creativity to the world, at your own speed.
Green goods: We cut the waste from oversupply by making products on-demand. We also cut carbon emissions by sourcing local materials and making products as close to the point of consumption as possible.
Copyright: Everyone who uploads their creations to Ponoko owns the copyright absolutely, subject to other people’s rights (if any). We also enable you to set copyright license using the Creative Commons scheme - from all rights reserved through to free and open use, with a few in between.
Co-creation:The Internet enables us to share more than ever before. And clever software now enables more than one person to be a part of the product creation process. It is now possible for anyone (not just those with lots of time and money) to get a product that no one else has, with the click of a mouse.
Here are a few examples of the products (table,lamp,jewelery) currently be produced and available for purchase at Ponoko.
