Inventables a University of Illinois startup.

If you play with several dozen of their materials, you will get several product ideas, some olf which may even have markets!

I think they are trying to provide value through all the normal ways an online reseller would, with a bent for the entrepeneurial inventer market.

At least that'd the impression that I get. For large quantities I would hazard the guess that no party misses out on the pie.
