I actually have used Elance for hardware,like Arduino programming and circuit board layout. Your idea sounds a bit more collaborative. I would like to see this but expanded to prototyping machined and 3d printed parts as well. The cost to go from idea to design to part is expensive, but I think it could be a lot cheaper.

Thanks Ashleyreddy. Prototyping and 3D printed parts are exactly where we want to go with the idea. When you used Elance, were you the person posting the project? What was the iterative process like?
