From digital to physical: How Etsy sellers can turn CNC plans into products

If you’re an Etsy seller specializing in digital CNC plans, you’ve likely wondered how to reach a broader audience. Many customers want the finished product, not just the plans. What if you could offer both? Here’s how to turn your digital designs into physical products without investing in expensive equipment.

The limitations of selling digital plans

While selling digital plans has its advantages, there are limitations:

  • Limited audience: Not everyone has the tools or skills to turn plans into products, which limits your customer base.
  • Missed opportunities: Customers who want the finished product might pass on your shop because they can't build it themselves.
  • One-time sales: Digital products often result in one-time purchases, while physical products can lead to repeat business.

How on-demand manufacturing expands your offerings

By partnering with us, you can expand your product line from digital plans to physical products:

  • No need for equipment: We handle the production, so you don’t need to invest in CNC machines or additional workspace.
  • Reach a wider audience: Offer your designs as finished products, attracting customers who prefer to buy rather than build.
  • Increase sales: Physical products often have higher perceived value, leading to more substantial and repeat purchases.

Seamless Etsy integration
