it looks cool but to me it does not look like something I would want to sit on. too many large holes in the seats and the rests are way too thin. but that's just my opinion.

I'm going to write each month a newsletter with new models and new way of using Ekoflex range, if you want to receive it, send me your email.
The #1 Ekoflex newsletter will be send 15 of mayTo answer to Steve : New world, New tool, New solutions ... New design !.

I'm not sure i understand what you are selling here. There are some companies who create 3d designs that they sell (like vectorart3d) are you selling the design files, (a 2d cutting file), of the designs you have shown here? If so what price range?

I'd worry about stuff falling through the holes in the tables. Also, those chairs do not look comfortable to sit on, especially the one with the edge of the board hitting the lumbar part of the back.

But then, that Is my opinion because all I can see are the pictures you have versus being able to actually try them out.

Hello Jack,

I'm selling nothing ... just sharing innovative (french) ideas to use the Shopbot and try to help you to make you more money !. I just would like to share Sketchup 3D files models and plans, easily re-usable in ShopBot PartWorks Suite or Aspire to cut Ekoflex parts.
You can make models for your own use for free.

If you sell Ekoflex range products to your customers, you will have to pay me 10% royalties on the sell amount. I think it is honest. In some cons, you will receive a newsletter every month with new 3d models files to offer your clients + design support to create new models.... Or you will manage your own design with the EKOFLEX concept.

Ponoko web site have found the concept interesting : “ ...This is a really interesting idea that in some ways legitimises the Ikea hacks and become an incredibly open mass customization system. The user/consumer/collaborator can configure their
own design or follow instructions for one of the design iterations pre-conceived by Pierre. ...”,
Ponoko blog, august 2009.

PS : If you are interested, you will receive the detailed pdf concept booklet + the pdf contract to understand... impossible to share it here via the download section !.

Pierre,

Nice to see some international flavor to the forum.

Do you pronounce it Shopbot or "show-BOT" over there ??
