Any know any good local manufactures for new products?

Hey DMS,

I am looking to find a local DFW design / manufacturing company that can take a prototype and build it in quantity. Can anybody recommend a solution? I prefer to stay local to Texas but willing to keep my options open. The prototype is something very similar to a Pancake bot. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1853707494/pancakebot-the-worlds-first-pancake-printer

I would be interested in taking a look at it, but I have to go and kill myself over the fact that somebody raised $450K for a pancake printer.

@bwmccall LOL. I would like to follow in those footsteps. What is your company called?

@bwmccall - laughing. I agree, I am in the wrong business.

@Travis_Zinger - I leveraged these folks several years ago.

Also, alibaba is the biggest global game in town for mass production (formerly known as the import-export bulletin board).

These folks may be a good resource as well.

Ain’t that the truth. I remember seeing a YouTube video where a guy drew Olaf or some other character with pancake batter and thinking to myself that that would be a great CNC device. I jokingly told my wife that was my new retirement plan. I didn’t think anything more of it.

How about quirky.com - I thought that was their specialty.
