Jul 13, 2018 at 17:27 comment added Peter Smith I am going to vote to re-open in the morning. A number of us believe this is a reasonable question - see the meta post.

Needs more focus
Jul 13, 2018 at 16:37 comment added Jules I don't know how things are set up in the US, but here in the UK we have local Chamber of Commerce organisations that can provide a lot of great advice about things like this. They can put you in touch with suppliers of training, grants and loans, and potential partners/suppliers/customers in your local area. I'm pretty sure you should have a local organisation with a similar sort of scope, and they're quite likely to be able to help you.
Jul 13, 2018 at 16:15 comment added SolveEtCoagula07 @TrivialCase Have you taken a look at MacroFab in Texas? They offer PCB assembly, programming and a few other things that you may be interested in.
Jul 13, 2018 at 15:26 comment added Peter Smith @TrivialCase The discussion on meta suggests how things could be broken up - take a look.
Jul 13, 2018 at 15:07 comment added Scott Seidman I placed a discussion of this question on meta electronics.meta.stackexchange.com/q/6639/11684

Jul 13, 2018 at 14:56 comment added TrivialCase @ScottSeidman I'd be happy to ask a more specific question, but I'm currently not aware of ideas like "design-for-manufacturing" so that I can't begin to search for answers or even ask meaningful questions. If you have a resource (or many) that could act as a primer so that I wouldn't have to bother you here, I'd be happy to spend my time getting more informed.
Jul 13, 2018 at 14:55 comment added Chris Stratton Have to agree this doesn't fit the Stack Exchange model - too broad, too many parts, most of them matters of opinion, and all but entirely about business rather than the technology. This belongs on a traditional discussion forum not an SE site.
Jul 13, 2018 at 14:54 comment added Peter Smith @ScottSeidman; I concur with that, but I think the OP is confused about the "where do I go and what do I do" to get this made, which is where I focused my answer.
Jul 13, 2018 at 14:54 comment added Scott Seidman Far too many issues to deal with in a single question. Consultants make a living doing this stuff.
Jul 13, 2018 at 14:54 comment added Scott Seidman Also, a regulatory pass -- FCC, EU, ...
Jul 13, 2018 at 14:52 comment added Scott Seidman I'm fine with the manufacturing question, but this particular question seems way broad. Frankly, with the 3D printed case and the homemade silicon envelope, this particular project would benefit from a thorough design-for-manufacturing pass before being ready for this type of discussion.

Jul 13, 2018 at 14:07 comment added Peter Smith I concur with @crj11 on this. The answers to this question are all things that designers need to know as part of the product lifecycle.

Jul 13, 2018 at 14:03 comment added crj11 @CharlesCowie For EEs at small companies, dealing with production issues is not that unusual. Is there another forum that would be more appropriate?
Jul 13, 2018 at 13:56 comment added user80875 I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because this site is specifically intended for questions about electrical engineering theory and design.
