The same complex parts, at a fraction of the cost.

Nodo was built in Mexico to do the work that gets quoted in the United States: the same geometry, the same dimensional demands and the same lead times, with the cost structure of this side of the border. Upload your STEP file and compare.

Why Mexicosame work, different cost

What you overpay for is not the part, it is where it was made

A shop in the United States quotes on United States labour, rent and overhead. We run the same class of machine and the same inspection criteria from Mexico, a day's truck from the border. And unlike Asia, your part never crosses an ocean or passes through someone who never opened your model.

	Shop in the United States	Supplier in Asia	Nodo · Mexico
Cost per part	The highest of the three	Low, if the lot is large	Low from the first piece
Transit to your plant	Days	Weeks by sea	Days, by truck
Time zone	Shared	12 hours or more apart	The same as your plant
Who machines the part	The shop that quotes it	Often a third party	Our own machines
Minimum quantity	One piece	Large lots	One piece
Engineering changes	By email	A day of back and forth	One call, the same day

We are not a marketplace8 processes in house

We bring the cost down because the machines are ours

A marketplace takes your drawing, spreads it across shops you have never heard of and charges its margin on top of theirs. We have no such margin to pay: every process runs on equipment we own, with people we employ, on one floor. It is the only way we know to lower the price without lowering the part.

1 setup · 5 faces

5-axis milling

An Axile centre running simultaneous strategies verified in simulation before we touch material.

11 centres in parallel

3-axis milling

A released program moves to another machine the same day, with no re-validation of the part.

3 CNC lathes

Turning

Shafts, bushings and turned parts of the same assembly, closed out in house.

hardened stock

Wire EDM

Sharp internal corners and narrow slots, with no cutting force and no distortion.

TIG · MIG · laser

Welding

The process is chosen per joint, not by what happens to be free, and always on a fixture machined in house.

between operations

CMM metrology

Inspection sits inside the routing, so a deviation is caught before the part is released.

finished unit

Assembly

It ships packed and labelled against a single purchase order.

Q1 2027

Post-processing

Anodizing, Alodine and electropolishing, today through a qualified and audited supplier.

How a job moves6 steps

From file to shipment without leaving the building

Every step happens on the same floor, so a deviation gets corrected while the part is still on the machine instead of three weeks later at your receiving dock.

File

Send STEP, IGES, X_T, DXF or a PDF drawing. With a signed NDA first if you ask.

Manufacturing review

A programmer opens the model and tells you which detail is making the part expensive for no reason.

Programming

Simultaneous 5-axis strategies verified in simulation before we touch material.

Machining

Milling, turning, wire EDM and welding enter the same production queue.

Inspection

CMM between operations rather than at the end, with a first-article dimensional report.

Shipment

A finished unit, labelled, with the report and heat certificate tied to the lot.

Two ways to workprototype → series

Prototyping

One-off parts, machined by people who read drawings

A single piece is taken as seriously as a thousand. A reserved machine window keeps a prototype from waiting behind a production run.

Production

Repeat runs at the lowest cost per piece

Nothing gets re-qualified when volume arrives: the same programs, the same fixtures and the same inspection plan scale onto the Haas and Hision cells. Sub-assemblies leave as finished units, not boxes of parts.

Programs and fixtures kept by part number

Welded assemblies in TIG, MIG and laser

Qualityone report per shipment

Lowering the cost is not lowering the part

One accountable owner

The same team answers for machining, welding, inspection and assembly. There is nobody else to look at when a dimension misses.

Dimensional verification

First article, full dimensional and per-lot sampling. The report arrives with the shipment, so receiving never has to ask for it.

Simulated before cutting

The full toolpath is verified in simulation: fewer trial cycles, less scrapped material and a finish that does not depend on polishing.

Material traceability

Heat certificate, lot and special process tied to the part number, in one file per shipment.
