It’s that time of year… Back to school, back to work — and back to making! Whether you’ve been brainstorming about your first Personal Factory creation or preparing to create a new product line for your business, now is the perfect time to start prototyping.
And to help you out, Ponoko is throwing a prototyping party!
All card and cardboard materials are FREE from now until September 22.
There’s nothing you have to do. No promo codes, no vouchers, no special instructions. Just upload a file to your Personal Factory, pick a card material, and your material costs will be zilch!
Free card and cardboard is available from both Ponoko US and Ponoko NZ.
(See the US card materials here. And the NZ card materials here.)
Aaannndd if you share your cardboard prototypes and projects in our Prototyping Party thread on the Ponoko forum, you’ll be entered in a drawing to win a sample material pack of your choice!
(We can also make a similar sample pack of materials from the NZ catalog if you use the NZ hub.)
Join the party! Go crazy with the cardboard!
Show us your stuff in the forums!
