Prototyping website makes building your ideas easy as drawing

Using several drawing tools, you draw your design for cutting on their templates and upload it to Ponoko. You can pick from wood, acrylic, styrene and others. They say they’ll be adding new materials soon. They have a bunch of samples, some as big as tables. Too bad they don’t do metal or composites. Imagine the possibilities!
