Prototype Production

I would like to develop a prototype to pitch to investors and show to a manufacturer. Does anybody have any advice or input on this subject? I would like to make my product real before I order from a manufacturer. Is it uncommon for a manufacturer to produce a "sample" product before a large order is placed?…See More
