*The future of manufacturing – now available in German*

·     Formulor launches German-language version of world’s easiest making
system.

·       Provides online access to local digital making services priced in
Euros.

Berlin-based fabber Formulor has launched a website people can use to design
and make products. The dual German and English language site – powered by
Ponoko’s online making system – makes it easy for German creators to have
their designs made and delivered locally.

The Ponoko system, launched in 2007, makes it possible for anyone to make
almost anything using digital making technology. For creators, it makes
prototyping fast and affordable and opens the doors to ‘on demand’
micro-manufacturing – whether it’s a one-off creation or a sizable
production run.

Formulor’s Stefan Canditt says the company has launched its own site to
extend its use of the Ponoko system. “We started by offering our laser
cutting service through Ponoko.com – in English and using USD,” he says.
“It’s working well for us, but we always wanted to take it one step further
with our own stand alone website – powered by Ponoko but using our language
and our currency. It just makes it so much easier and convenient for our
customers.”

Ponoko CEO David ten Have says the new site takes Ponoko’s distributed
manufacturing concept another step further. “We’ve designed the Ponoko
system so that fabbers anywhere can use it to offer their community an
online making service,” he says.  “It connects creators and fabbers to
deliver downloadable designs for local making anywhere in the world. It’s
the future of design, making and delivery.”

Germans can now ‘click to make’ at formulor.de <http://www.formulor.de/>.
