    rims for wheels business

    Yeah, solid works or CAD. You need to design the wheel, and put that drawing in solid works or CAD into a mold design for the mfg process. I am no expert on making mold, but in order to do it you will need those software anyways.

    rims for wheels business

    Forging and casting both are not determinant in the quality of the rim, the process of forging or casting is, based on your machines, the operators, and how you control the temps and pour etc. Because forging is like making a sword (heat up and hammer, or cold forging which is heat up less and...

    rims for wheels business

    Right, and making rims goes beyond a CNC machine (good that you have that taken care of). Rims are either made by casting or forging. For the former, you need to have a mold and a way to melt aluminum. For the latter, you must have a forging press to hammer the aluminum into shape. Both are...

    rims for wheels business

    Manufacturing rims are tough man, unless I am mistaken most of the big niche names like 360 forge and Strassforge all make theirs in house with their own machines, let alone the BBS and WORKS of the world. Quality is everything, so when you outsource cheaply 2 things will happen, you end up...

    Who want's to invest in a record label?

    True that. I used to be a Myspace musician many years ago (when myspace music didn't even exist and I had to use a third party plugin). I was a rapper (lol), and combined with my myspace and soundclick I had over 30k plays and that was a far stretch from even being somebody. I am still on...

    Disadvantages for private equity, when you're the investor?

    PEOPLE 
    Are you talking about the securities exchange act of 1934? You can sell equity to investors if you are 1) an equity owner or 2) an executive officer or board member. I am not a lawyer so don't take my word for law, but that's how its done from the various deals I've seen.

    Not really. He went on to find his freedom and what motivated him, and now he is back at it again. Debt or no debt I personally does not think it matters.
