Basically I have my cad drawings and working prototype that has been 3d printed and I wish to manafaturer the product.

I know I want to go down the injection molding route but am not too sure where to even start looking.

You hear about china but I am told that it's not a good place to start due to needing to have a person on the ground and who speaks Chinese to really get going and typically they take around a $1 cut per unit and you don't even own your molds.

I have a patent on the product but just want to manafaturer now.

The product is simple enough that I think I could do it locally and at least be able to speak the same language as the manafaturer. And obviously I want to own the molds.

Anyone have any ideas where I could start?

Thank you in advance for your help, please let me know if I am posting in the wrong sub or with the wrong tag.
