See my post here which has some links to information about the process & what’s required in your CAD drawings to get something manufactured: [Modeling a yoyo for manufacturing - #3 by MarkD](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/modeling-a-yoyo-for-manufacturing/392727/3)

There are many options for a machine shop, you can expect to have to pay $400-$800 for prototypes made in China, eg. at FPM.

I also enjoy talking about yoyo design on discord here: [Discord](https://discord.gg/4R7FudGm)
