Reverse Engineering

When you need it

• A legacy machine part has failed and the drawing is long gone.
• An imported spare has a six-month lead time and you need it made locally.
• A worn casting pattern or die needs replicating before it is scrapped.
• You have a physical sample from a supplier and need a manufacturable model of it.

How we work

• 1. Capture — 3D scan the sample, plus hand metrology (micrometer, bore gauge, height gauge, thread and radius gauges) on the features that matter.
• 2. Rebuild — a parametric model in SolidWorks, not a dumb mesh: real holes, real fillets, real threads, so it can be edited later.
• 3. Engineer — we infer material and heat treatment from hardness and appearance, restore the design intent behind worn or damaged features, and apply sensible tolerances and fits.
• 4. Drawing — a fully dimensioned 2D drawing issued to you, so the part is yours to re-order from anyone.
• 5. Manufacture — machined in our toolroom once you approve the model.

What you get

A parametric CAD model (STEP and SLDPRT), a dimensioned 2D drawing (PDF and DWG), and a note of the assumptions we made about material, heat treatment and tolerances. All of it belongs to you.

A note on intellectual property

We reverse-engineer parts you own, spares for machines you operate, and components you have the right to reproduce. We will not copy a part that is someone else's current protected design — if you are unsure, tell us what the part is and where it came from and we will say so before quoting.
