Title: I have an amazing product idea... Post by: Anonymous on February 24, 2011, 01:13:17 AM I have an amazing product idea. I know certain specifics of the hardware it needs and I can produce things such as basic dimensions on paper. However, I don't know where to go to start getting this prototyped, software made and etc. I am pretty young but I am filled with several ideas I would like to actually act on. I think this idea has a lot of potential and I think I can get the capital through crowdfunding once I get a good prototype/concept up and running.
Assuming I have everything on paper besides the detailed electronic know-how and engineering, where do I go from this point? I am lost. Title: Re: I have an amazing product idea... Post by: Ryland R. Taylor-Almanza on February 24, 2011, 02:03:15 AM This is a pretty great place:

Post by: opticbit on February 25, 2011, 01:29:41 AM Cheap 3d prototypeing makerbot / thing-o-matic reprap fab @ home still $1000 to get one up and running they also have links to software like autocad but free through the various communities you can probably find someone to print something out for you. size limits are around 6" x 6" x 6" maybe one is nearby some of the people in these communities have access to larger CNC machines also check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackerspace maybe you have one thats local maybe you can get someone to print something in exchange for bitcoins. I like donations 1M2ykXxKaMwStGtn7N3zQTWixf3qLxYNGz |
