Reverse Engineering
Recreate undocumented, unavailable or damaged components and turn physical geometry into controlled, manufacturable CAD.
Rebuild the design intent, not just the surface.
A scanned mesh may describe what is physically present. Reverse engineering asks the more useful questions: which features matter, what was probably nominal, where are interfaces, what tolerances are functional, and how should the replacement be manufactured?
Legacy & Obsolete Parts
Reconstruct components where original CAD or drawings are missing or no longer available.
Repair & Replacement
Capture a worn or damaged item, restore likely nominal geometry and prepare an appropriate replacement.
Redesign & Improvement
Retain critical interfaces while improving manufacturability, stiffness, serviceability or material use.
Typical inputs
Physical part, photographs, scan data, sketches, dimensions, old drawings, mating components or installation constraints.
Typical outputs
STEP/STP CAD, STL/3MF production geometry, DXF profiles, PDF drawings, dimensional reports or prototype parts depending on scope.
Have a part you cannot buy?
Send a few photographs and tell us what the component does. We can then define whether the sensible route is measurement, scanning, CAD reconstruction, prototype manufacture or a combination.
