His most
popular creation is a curvaceous side table, and even though he has sold
only two copies of it, he has already turned a profit. He did it without
so much as setting foot in a wood shop. And he is not alone. Wegesin is
one of 5,000 merchants who have established accounts with Ponoko, a year-old on-demand manufacturing
service in New Zealand.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.wired.com/techbiz/it/magazine/16-04/bz_instapreneur">Welcome to the age of the instapreneur. With nothing more than a
design, amateurs can manufacture jewelry, robots, T-shirts, furniture
— anything. No warehouses. No minimum orders. And no money down.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.wired.com/techbiz/it/magazine/16-04/bz_instapreneur">Thousands are launching instant businesses.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.wired.com/techbiz/it/magazine/16-04/bz_instapreneur">On-demand manufacturing could eliminate that constraint,
leading to a world where products are always available, nothing ever
gets discontinued, and the virtual shelves are always stocked.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/58BF2087-E8EB-4784-B0BC-C21E40DD9794/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
