{yuizoom onlineQuotingTreeUpdate-thumb.png|onlineQuotingTreeUpdate.png} Happy New Year! We have rolled out a new update to the online quoting system. Materials are now displayed in an expandable tree and are organized by category. We've also added descriptions for all of the materials.
The list of available materials has grown quite long lately: we have 77 different combinations of material and stock thickness you can choose from. There are a bunch of new materials coming soon so these changes make it easier for you to find the right material for your project.
I had missed this article until recently, when it was mentioned on the Make magazine blog. Anyway, it's an interesting article by author and design expert Bruce Sterling on what he calls "the router aesthetic," that is, building things using 2D manufacturing tools. I think he's missing out by not noticing the "laser aesthetic" or "waterjet aesthetic."
