Berlin-based Formulor launched its making hub in February this year and Milan-based Vectorealism followed in May. These services are in addition to our own making hubs in San Francisco and Wellington \u2013 and more than 150 fabbers using our system through 100kGarages.  <\/p>\n<p>Shipping company costs have been a huge barrier for Ponoko users in the UK or wanting to break into the UK market. So much so, that we have been subsidizing freight to the UK for products made at our making hub in New Zealand. Ultimately, that\u2019s unsustainable and against the Ponoko ethos which is about building an eco-friendly approach to manufacturing. Our aim from the beginning has been to cut carbon emissions by sourcing local materials and making products as close to the point of consumption as possible.<br \/>\nLocal making will make a big difference for UK creators. For example, here are the savings on shipping a 3mm thick, P1 sized plastic sheet of material (in USD):<\/p>\n<p>To UK \u2026<\/p>\n<p>from New Zealand: $24.40 (subsidized rate)<\/p>\n<p>from USA: $59.90<\/p>\n<p>from Germany: $19.53<\/p>\n<p>from Italy: $29.11<\/p>\n<p>from UK: $3.67 <\/p>\n<p>Remember, as an independent fabricator, RazorLAB has its own pricing, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ponoko.com\/make-and-sell\/materials\/razorlab-london\" target=\"_blank\">materials catalog<\/a> and terms of business. So based on these things, you can choose whether you want your products delivered from Ponoko hubs in the USA and New Zealand or from independent hubs in Germany, Italy and now the UK. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Want to get making in the UK?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ponoko.com\/account\/preferences\" target=\"_blank\">Log in here now<\/a> to change your making hub to RazorLAB in the UK.
