That's the least of your problems. To fire up an assembly line for even the most trivial of products you are going to be looking at initial expenses in the range of $1M, if you are lucky. Even if it's China, in which case you will also have to know how to navigate the industry there.
- starky 6y agoThe only way $1M makes sense is if you are describing the entire project cost for a fairly basic electronics product including tooling, salaries, marketing, compliance, manufacturing fixturing, etc. What I would consider "firing up a manufacturing line" would cost maybe in the tens of thousands of dollars.
- molsonhart 6y agoThis is wrong.
- OnlyOneCannolo 6y agoThis is not a very informative comment.
- molsonhart 6y agoWhat do you want me to say? I can't tell you how much it cost because it varies by product, but to get most physical products of the ground in China costs less than $5k.
- OnlyOneCannolo 6y agoThat.
- triangleman 6y agoHow about if you don't want to go to China?
- molsonhart 6y agoThat's fine, but you should go if you're serious.
- triangleman 6y agoI guess my question is, aren't there domestic manufacturers who can help with prototyping and everything? Or has China completely taken that over? Note that I'm not talking about electronics in this instance, let's say gardening equipment.
