Collaborative design and engineering: the first step to successful metal fabrication
Why start with collaborative design and engineering? Because a well-designed part is faster to produce, less expensive to manufacture, and more reliable to assemble.
At Nado, this step aims to optimize every technical decision and design choice before the metal is even touched.
Why this first step is crucial
At Nado, metal fabrication doesn’t start on the machine, but on the workbench. This first step is crucial: it allows us to identify flaws in the drawings, improve the design, and save time, material, and precision. By collaborating with your technical teams from the outset, we eliminate costly adjustments along the way.
This is the best way to ensure a smooth, cost-effective process that meets your industry standards.

Technical optimization of your metal parts: our practical approach
Collaborative design and engineering at Nado is based on a simple idea: anticipate to produce better.
We analyze your drawings (2D or 3D), identify areas of risk (difficult angles, areas of deformation, critical tolerances) and suggest improvements that do not change the functionality of the part, but greatly facilitate its manufacturing.
This step includes:
- material verification
- compatibility with our equipment (laser cutting, CNC bending, welding)
- preparation of machine files
- final validation with your technical teams
Our engineering and design team has decades of experience in custom metal design and manufacturing.
Our goal: to make your parts easier to produce, more reliable to assemble, and more cost-effective.

Concrete benefits for your production:
- Fewer alterations and adjustments in the workshop
- Reduced material waste
- Clearer, easier to use drawings for production
- Lower risk of non-compliance
- Reduced overall manufacturing costs
