I have no idea what I'm looking for.  I designed a system that makes flipbooks from video that uses a business card slitter as part of the system.  There are several problems with the slitter and I'm wondering if I could redesign the machine for my purposes and make it perfect.  I have no idea if this is a project within an entrepreneur's budget or if I would need to be some huge corporation to make a new machine.  Does anyone have any thoughts about where I might begin to seek out guidance about machine design and fabrication.
