Going from Prototype to Mass Manufacture?

[messianic]

I have finished a prototype for a consumer product that I think will have a great market. I have already filed a patent for the prototype.


How do I make the leap from where I am to getting the product mass manufactured by an automated factory process? My product should be pretty easy to develop. It just involves several metal objects and a few other things arranged a certain way. How much would it cost to get an automated factory made? Who should I talk to abou tthis? Industrial design engineers?
