According to Tobira textbook (Lesson 1, grammar point 1), {で / から} できる is used
to express "to be made from" when generic statements, while {で / から} できている is
used to express "to be made from" when describing something specific.

Could you please show me some examples with "でできる" (NOT でできている)?

Thank you so much in advance for your help!

question
grammar syntax
Sentence with でできる
that's interesting... I don't think I've ever seen "でできる" used in that manner.
Where I normally see "でできる" is in describing how a thing can be done, or the
amount of time a thing can be done in:

> 30日でできる  
>  5分でできる  
>  スマホでできる仕事  
>  自宅でできる仕事  
>  一人でできる仕事  
>  フライパン一つでできるレシピ

looking forward to a native Japanese answer to this question.

answer
The major difference between the ている form and the normal form is that the
former is more about the state of being made, whereas the latter is more about
the action of being made.

Maybe understanding it as it is translated below could help you:

> 紙でできる箱です。: It is a box that we make with paper.
>
> 紙でできている箱です。: It is a box made with paper.

Other examples with でできる:

> ご飯でできるちょっと変わったアイデアレシピ。
>
> 余ったご飯でできる煎餅の作り方を紹介している。
>
> うまいアイスコーヒーは水でできる！

You also see this form a lot in its past tense form.
