I'm trying to find something more meaningful to say than just "neat" or "awesome", which this is.
So what other niches could somebody do this in? Where else are there frustrated amateur designers that would love to see their creations professionally produced (and sold)?
We already have design-your-own shops for books, CDs, DVDs, tshirts, skateboard decks, Lego sets, circuit boards, bobbleheads, metal machining, ...
What's left? Textiles? Clothing? Food? Wallpaper?
- replicatorblog 17y agoThere are actually companies doing customization in all the niches you mentioned: 1. Textiles: http://www.spoonflower.com http://www.spoonflower.com 2. Clothing: http://www.spreadshirt.com http://www.spreadshirt.com 3. Food: http://www.mixmygranola.com http://www.mixmygranola.com 4. Wallpaper: http://www.nakedandangry.com http://www.nakedandangry.com (not true customization, more crowdsourced) Still tons of room for innovation though.

- replicatorblog 17y agoCars too, a start up called Local Motors (http://www.local-motors.com http://www.local-motors.com) is trying to do a custom/crowdsourced car company. I think it is more conceptual at this point though. The capital requirements are crazy and I think we'll see more innovation in this area from companies like Toyota.
