Manufacturing is the use of machines, tools and labor to make things for use or sale. The term may refer to a range of human activity, from handicraft to high tech, but is most commonly applied to industrial production, in which raw materials are transformed into finished goods on a large scale. Such finished goods may be used for manufacturing other, more complex products, such as household appliances or automobiles, or sold to wholesalers, who in turn sell them to retailers, who then sell them to end users - the "consumers".

The short answer is that various manufacturers get together and create what is known as STANDARDS Once a STANDARD is published and a manufacturer signs on, the product will be compatible with other manufacturers following the same standard. Some STANDARDS are created outside the restrictions of patents. For example: a light bulb screw socket. Some STANDARDS are for the USA only; others are International. There are so many standards that organizations were formed to create them and keep track of them. For example in the USA: ANSI, NFPA, UL Internationally: IEC


How can you start a weapon manafacturing business for the military?

you would first have to start with having a business and some good plans for weapons. after you have the designs manufacture a prototype so you have an example to show. during this process you need to make contacts with a local military base. meet people, lots of them, the higher the Rank the better. once you can make a meeting with someone for you design, you need to be prepared to answer questions like why would this help us? what weapon would this replace? how much would it take to manufacture? how many can you make in 1 hour? how much does it cost? how accurate is it? this is how you establish a good contract with the military. don't be discouraged if they don't except your designs a first.
