Global Producer's List

There should be a planetary list of producers on-line who will manufacture things invented by anyone that wants some product 'printed out' in order to allow people with ideas match up their ideas for production easily.

In the U.S.A. these days an inventor or innovator must invest way too much time in trial and error searches for manufacturers of a new product. A comprehensive planetary manufacturer-inventor matching list would be somewhat like a computer dating service. Maybe it would be like a combination of Craig's List , E-Harmony and an International Business Directory including a free, high speed patent search to note any possible conflicts and what countries if any those would be in.. The inventor would specify what sort of product he wanted to produce and a computer match keeping his product privacy secure would search the planet for potential manufacturers and related costs including shipping and handling for x number of units. Manufacturer's that want to participate would sign onto the list to create a working database.

Consider the challenge of locating the right manufacturer in China for an American living in Chicago. It is expensive and time consuming and he or she may be on a tight budget. The economy inventor wants to invest his resources in ideas instead of reinventing the wheel of finding a cost-efficient manufacturer every time he has another thought of an article to produce.


One should be able to directly compare manufacturing costs from locations in China, the U.S.A., Mexico and so forth without being a deep pockets corporate guy.
