Fed up with just sitting around I reached out to a great 3D printing company called EEZITEC and met with their CEO and Lead Sales Engineer just to talk technology. Fast forward a few months and I now work as a part time design engineer for them.
My biggest recommendation is to start by reaching out to companies you admire and see if you can get the chance to talk with some of the people who work at the company. These people are the ones who have already gone through what you are trying to do and can offer some great information on how to proceed with your idea.
With this in mind I would be happy to talk with any of you about my experience and if you are interested I can try to get you a meeting with the same guys I met with.
Hope this helped.
