Reverse engineering you can rely on

Yes. That is the core of our reverse engineering service. We measure the part you send us, by hand metrology or 3D scanning depending on its shape, then rebuild it as a full CAD model and manufacture from that. Old drawings help if you have them, but they are not needed, because the component itself carries enough information to recover the design, typically to within a few hundredths of a millimetre on the critical features. This is how we copy a part from a sample when the paperwork is long gone, and how we remanufacture legacy components no maker still supports. Send us the part, or what is left of it, and we will recover the design and quote within 24 hours.

No, and that is exactly the situation reverse engineering is for. Before we make a replacement we work out why the original failed, whether the cause was a marginal material, a stress concentration designed into a corner, or a fit or tolerance that loaded the part wrongly. Diagnosing the failure is what separates a part that lasts from a like-for-like copy that fails again in the same place. Where the diagnosis points to a clear weakness we correct it, changing the material, easing the stress point or adjusting the fit, so the remanufactured part comes back better than the original. We tell you what we are changing and why before we make anything.

Yes. Part of the skill in reverse engineering a worn part is reading past the wear or damage to recover the geometry as it was designed, rather than copying its failed state. We measure the critical features more than once and cross-check them, then reconstruct the as-designed shape in CAD, accounting for the material lost to wear at bearing surfaces, threads and edges. The more of the part you can send, even in pieces, the better, but we routinely work from worn and broken samples. A cracked casting or a shaft worn at the journal is a normal starting point for us, not a reason to turn the job away.

You receive an engineer-made quote within 24 hours of sending us the part, and it is a real engineer who reviews the geometry, the material and the volume, not an automated estimate. Delivery time depends on the part, the process and the material, and we give you a realistic lead time at quote stage rather than a date we cannot hold. What we do promise is delivery on time or early, every time, with manufacturing projects arriving on average around 1.5 days ahead of schedule. Reverse engineering adds a measurement and modelling stage in front of manufacture, so we build that into the timeline honestly and keep you posted as the job runs.

Both, and that is deliberate. You get the finished part, inspected against the model before it leaves us, and you get the recovered CAD model and 2D drawing that we built to make it. That documentation is often worth as much as the part, because a component you previously could only source from a single worn sample becomes something you can reorder at will, consistent every time. We hold the model and drawing on file, so a repeat batch matches the first rather than starting again from a part that could be lost or damaged. It gives you an independent, documented source for a part you were unable to buy.

Yes, that is the whole point of the work. We reconstruct the part with its mating features, fits and datums intact, then inspect the finished part against that model before it leaves us, so it fits the machine you already have. Where we improve on the original design, we do it without changing how the part fits and interfaces, unless an interface change is itself the fix and we have agreed it with you first. Because we keep your model and drawings on file, any reorder is consistent with the first part and no longer dependent on a single worn sample. That gives you an independent, documented source for a part you were previously unable to buy.
