NEXA-MFG // INDIANA, USA ADDITIVE MFG · PROTOTYPING · REVERSE ENGINEERING STATUS: ACCEPTING PROJECTS

Precision manufacturing, engineered to spec.

NEXA Manufacturing Co. partners with innovators and businesses to design, iterate, and manufacture high-quality custom products — from a single functional prototype to a low-volume production run.

Recent work: 46% weight reduction on an aerospace bracket, a 48-hour emergency crane part replacement, and structural components for commercial drone/UAV platforms — every project covered by NDA.

Step 01 / 03

CAD Design

Every project starts with precise 3D modeling, matched to your exact specifications before a single layer gets printed.

Step 02 / 03

Weight Reduction

We redesign the inside of the part — removing material it doesn't need while keeping the strength it does — which is where the 46% weight reduction happens.

Step 03 / 03

Printed & Verified

We print in whatever material the application actually calls for, drawing from a wide range of engineering-grade options — then inspect the part and run it through load and vibration testing before it ships.

What we build

Three ways we take a part from idea to production.

Additive manufacturing lab based in Indiana — no traditional tooling, no long lead times.

Rapid Prototyping B2B

Move from concept to a physical model at speed — high-fidelity prototypes for visual review, stress-testing, and fit-checks, iterated in days instead of weeks.

BEST FORProof of concept, investor pitches, functional testing
CAPABILITYHigh-resolution additive manufacturing

Private & Government Contracts GOV

We take on confidential production work for large institutions, municipalities, and government or defense clients — every file and part protected under NDA from the first conversation.

BEST FORGovernment agencies, defense contractors, institutions needing strict confidentiality
CAPABILITYNDA-restricted projects, one-off and low-volume runs

In-House E-Commerce Brands D2C

We design, build, and sell our own consumer product lines across Amazon, Etsy, eBay, and Walmart — so we know firsthand what it takes to ship a real product.

BEST FORSeeing our end-to-end capability in a shipped product
CAPABILITYConsumer product design, multi-channel fulfillment
Proof of work

Two jobs. Two very different clients.

The overwhelming majority of our work — commercial, industrial, and defense — is protected under NDA and never leaves the building. These two are the rare exceptions we're cleared to share.
REPORT NX-014 / AEROSPACENDA

Bracket weight reduction

Challenge
A commercial aerospace client needed a structural sensor-mount bracket lightened by 40%+ versus their existing CNC-machined aluminum part. Every gram saved compounds across a full production run — but the part still had to survive the same flight-certified load and vibration standards as the original.
Solution
Our engineers reworked the bracket's internal geometry from the ground up, removing material everywhere the load paths allowed it, and produced the final part in Carbon-Fiber Reinforced Nylon (PA-CF) for the stiffness-to-weight ratio the application demanded.
Result
46% weight reduction versus the original design, with load-bearing performance that matched — and in testing, exceeded — the original part. Passed vibration testing.

REPORT NX-021 / HEAVY INDUSTRYNDA

Mill crane component, reverse-engineered

Challenge
A critical component on an overhead material-handling crane failed at a heavy industrial mill, halting production immediately. The original equipment manufacturer quoted a multi-week lead time for a replacement — with every day of downtime costing the plant real production.
Solution
We reverse-engineered the failed component directly from the damaged part — no drawings or CAD files from the OEM required — and produced a replacement in industrial-grade PA-CF, built to handle daily mill-floor impact and stress.
Result
Delivered and installed in under 48 hours, weeks ahead of the OEM's timeline. The part has been running under daily mill-floor stress ever since with zero failures.

NDA
Every project is IP-secure — no exceptions. We sign standard corporate and government NDAs before we ever open a file or CAD model. It's why most of what we build never appears on this website; if you don't see your industry above, assume we've probably built for it under an NDA we can't break.
