Default Selling cnc parts.

My brother is going to make CNC parts for my car and I was thinking of maybe starting a company making parts like servo arms, shock towers and even chassis. How do I go about getting these on amain and other stores once the testing is over?

I would imagine you would email them and explain, then they will probably need some to test for themselves before selling.
That is what I would expect, but have no proper idea

CNC machines are more common these days, anyone can purchase or make one. Getting into a real business does mean a good quality, better performance than original and good looking or else it has no use unless the price is much better than others.

Going commercial also means large productions, so large investments in materials and tools and more maintenance on your CNC machine, if he just has a small size hobby based machine it can give a short lifespan.....

Oh no he's an architectural engineer with a legit workshop. I'm just doing my research before I start investing.

Good luck getting A Main to return a call or email. I have a pretty successful hobby business. Look up my name or APE in the electric off road forums. I couldn't even get a no thanks reply from A Main.
