You can make 1 or 100,000. And your designs are made & delivered as fast as same day.
Business Practice: Ponoko Clocks
Thinking flat is about simplicity, and sometimes layers. In 3D Printing we
think in layers of plastic; in Laser Cutting we can think in layers of
whatever you are cutting.
Business Practice: Ponoko Cases
A great example of flat layers adding up to create more than just flat
thing are Raspberry PI cases.
Business Practice: Wallets
A good example of a flat cut product that makes good money, is the wallet!
Kickstarter has an article about wallets Why are there so many wallets on Kickstarter? Take a look at Trayvax and Dango Products for more ideas.
Business Practice: Laser-cut Leather
Sarah Kirkham and Anna Warren created a Leatherworking business where
they use a laser cutter to create fancy products.
Consider creating a similar business (see The Founder)

As the part 2 says, having someone else run cutter is actually reasonably
priced.
