Maker: These backers will receive a $50 Personal Factory making voucher from Ponoko to turn their ideas into real things. Making vouchers cover the cost of making services like laser cutting, CNC routing or 3D printing. The vouchers can be used for any project but they would be a great way to begin using Chrysalis. For more information on Ponoko making vouchers, see the following link. http://support.ponoko.com/entries/20198027-what-can-i-apply-making-vouchers-to-on-my-order Makers will also get the baseline rewards listed in #1 above.

Collaborator: These backers will have the opportunity to take part in the initial testing of the chrysalis code. They will submit a grasshopper file to us via emai for translation to processing. The processing sketch will be posted on our website in a gallery of collaborators. The sketch will also be available for you to post on your own site. We encourage linking it to an online fabrication site like ponoko or shapeways and will offer limited email support for incorporating those site's APIs. For full API support, see reward #7 below. Since this is the initial test, grasshopper designs will be limited to a subset of available geometry types: splines, planes, loft surfaces and polygon mesh primitives. Collaborators will also get the baseline rewards listed in #1 above.

Estimated Delivery: Dec 2011

Design Entrepeneur: This reward is intended for organizations and small design firms who want help implementing interactive online storefronts for their products using Chrysalis. I will work personally with these backers to set up a model storefront for a single product, which can then act as a template for additional products. The model product design will reproduce a grashopper file provided by the designer and translated using Chrysalis. The storefront will allow customers to modify their design with a combination of up to 3 variables, preview their personalized product and export it to an online making service like ponoko or shapeways. This reward does not include integration with online payment or e-commerce functionality, which will be the backer's responsibility. These backers will also get the baseline rewards listed in #1 above.

Estimated Delivery: Apr 2012
