I have an idea but am not sure how to build a prototype. It is a physical product, very simple, not electric. It would be built out of metal, aluminum and fabric. I don't really think it needs engineering as I know the dimensions, materials, etc. But I would need the plan drawn out in a format that a manufacturer could use to make it. I googled "prototype" and there are lots of expensive offers that smell kind of scammy. I just want to make a few and have people test and provide feedback. I would need this company to be able to scale it up once I settle on the exact build. It would be copied immediately, even if I trademark it, and you can't really patent it, so it would need lots of marketing to blow out the initial sales. I have that part covered. I have a pretty catchy name for it that I think would stick. If I could find out who could make it then I could find out what type of plans they need. I'm just not sure where to start...any advice is most appreciated. In the meantime I am going to contact other companies who sell similar type products and see where they have them made and how.
