Design
Parts, accessories and objects designed around how they’re used: form, function and fit.
- Concept & sketches
- 3D modeling
- Fabrication drawings
Design & fabrication · Monterrey, MX
Rooted in
Mexico.
Made to go
further.
OcoteWorks is an independent design and engineering workshop in Monterrey, Mexico. We design, prototype and build parts and objects that get used, starting with adventure motorcycles.
01 · Manifesto
Good ideas should leave the page.
We shape them through design, engineering, and hands-on work.
We learn by making, testing, and using what we build.
Rooted in Mexico, made to go further.
Design with intent
Every geometry, material and process has a reason. Nothing is added just to look good.
Make it real
An idea isn’t finished until it’s physical. We prototype early, and what leaves the shop is finished properly.
Prove it in use
We use what we make before we offer it. No part leaves without time on the bike.
Go further
We try new processes and take things where they’re used. One new technique per project.
02 · Services
What we do
We take an idea from sketch to finished part. Hire us for a single stage or the whole development.
Engineering
Making sure the part survives real use: materials, tolerances, calculations and testing before we cut.
- Material selection
- Analysis & validation
- Field testing
Fabrication
From prototype to short runs, with local processes and suppliers.
- Functional prototypes
- Short production runs
- Finishing & assembly
03 · Process
How we work
Every part goes through the same five stages. You always know where your project is and what comes next.
Requirements
We talk through the problem, how the part is used and where it goes.
Design
Sketches and a 3D model to review together before cutting any material.
Prototype
A first real part to measure, fit and adjust.
Test
We take it out on the trail. Whatever fails gets fixed here.
Production
We build the final version, with drawings and a part number.
04 · The workshop
From Ocotepec to Monterrey
Ocote is the resin-rich pine splinter used to start a fire in the mountains: small, resourceful and reliable when it counts. That’s where the name comes from, along with Ocotepec, the town where it all began.
OcoteWorks is run by an industrial designer with an engineer’s mind, shaped by product engineering and the craft of mosaic. We work from Monterrey, with the Cerro de la Silla on the horizon.
- Engineering
- Drawings, tolerances and testing. Every part has a number and a revision.
- Design
- Form, color and use, worked out together.
- Craft
- Mosaic taught us to build piece by piece.
- Adventure
- We make what we’d take to the mountains ourselves.
