DESIGN · MANUFACTURING · EQUIPMENT

Agricultural implements and industrial machinery, designed by someone who has built them.

Engineering with real manufacturing judgment, fabrication through a network of partner shops in Chihuahua, and equipment ready to work in the field or on the plant floor, across Mexico, the US and Canada.

SERVICES

From sketch to finished equipment, with one owner of the engineering.

01

Design & engineering

3D modeling and design for manufacturing (DFM) of implements, machinery and wire harnesses. We deliver what the shop floor needs to build without guessing.

  • Fabrication and assembly drawings
  • Bill of materials (BOM) and DXF for cutting
  • Redesign and documentation of existing equipment
  • Wire harness design
  • Reverse engineering of parts
  • Finite element analysis (FEA)
  • Industrial processes, macros and apps
02

Manufacturing with partner shops

We build through a network of partner shops. MetalSolid owns the engineering, drawings and quality review; the shop brings its production capacity.

  • Laser cutting, forming and machining
  • Welding, assembly and finishing
  • A single point of contact for you
03

Implement & machinery sales

Our own equipment built to order or, when it serves you better, existing equipment sourced from trusted suppliers.

  • Custom design and fabrication
  • Sourcing and sale of existing equipment
  • Serving Mexico, the United States and Canada

FOR MANUFACTURERS

Configurators: your product line in minutes, not weeks.

Enter dimensions in a spreadsheet and the 3D model regenerates with its drawings and BOM. We write the macros around your catalog so you can quote and build variants without redesigning each time.

WIRE HARNESSES

Wire harness design for trailers, machinery and vehicles.

Manufacturing drawings with routing, lengths, breakouts and connectors defined, so your harness supplier builds them right and every unit comes out the same.

  • 01Manufacturing drawing with lengths, branches and breakout points
  • 02Wire list with gauge, color, from and to
  • 03Connectors, terminals, seals and protection specified
  • 04Color code to your standard or the industry standard

REVERSE ENGINEERING

We replicate machinery parts that are discontinued or take months to arrive.

From a worn or broken part we produce the 3D model and the manufacturing drawing, so it can be built new with corrected dimensions and, when needed, design improvements.

Reverse engineering process: worn part, 3D model, new part and manufacturing drawing
WORN PART → 3D MODEL → NEW PART
  1. 1

    Original part

    Ship us the part, or we measure it with you remotely using scaled photos and a measurement template.

  2. 2

    3D model

    We rebuild the geometry and compensate for wear to recover the design dimensions.

  3. 3

    Drawing and new part

    A drawing with dimensions, material and finish, ready to build with us or your own shop.

Replacement parts for John Deere, Caterpillar and other brands of machinery.

Quote a part

We make compatible replacement parts, not OEM parts. John Deere and Caterpillar are trademarks of their respective owners.

FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS · FEA

Validate your design before you build it.

We simulate real loads on parts, assemblies and structures to find critical points, prevent failures and avoid oversizing the steel.

  • 01Stress and deformation (von Mises) on parts and assemblies
  • 02Structures, frames, chassis and trailers
  • 03Safety factor plus reinforcement or material optimization proposals
  • 04Report with results, load assumptions and recommendations

PROCESSES AND SOFTWARE

Process engineering and tools built around your plant.

Beyond designing the equipment, we help your operation produce more with fewer errors: documented processes and tools that automate repetitive work.

Industrial process development

Process sheets, build sequences, work instructions and station layouts so every unit is built the same way.

Excel macros

Quoting tools, bills of materials, cut calculations and reports you do by hand today, automated in your own Excel.

CAD software macros

Automatic generation of drawings, BOMs, DXFs and product variants, plus configurators for your catalog.

Manufacturing management apps

Custom apps for quotes, part numbers, work orders, time tracking and revenue.

PROCESS

Four steps, with your sign-off at every phase.

  1. 1

    Field data

    Collected by your team, remotely guided: measurement template, scaled photos and a video walkthrough.

  2. 2

    Design & review

    3D model and drawings reviewed with you before a single plate is cut.

  3. 3

    Fabrication

    Production at partner shops, built to our drawings with our quality review.

  4. 4

    Delivery & support

    Equipment, documentation and released drawings for your records and future revisions.
