Why Reverse Engineering?

In an industrial landscape where downtime is costly, waiting for OEM parts that are out of stock or obsolete isn't an option. Reverse engineering is the ideal solution for

• Legacy Equipment Support: Recreating parts for machinery where the manufacturer no longer exists
• Part Improvement: Identifying wear patterns in the original part and re-designing it for better durability or efficiency
• Cost Reduction: Developing a localized source for expensive imported components
• Digital Archiving: Creating CAD models of existing inventory for future 3D printing or casting

Our Technical Process

Our workflow integrates cutting-edge technology with decades of metallurgical expertise

• High-Precision 3D Scanning: We capture the exact geometry of the physical part using non-contact laser scanners, creating a high-density "cloud" of data points
• Material Characterization: Our in-house lab performs Spectro-analysis to determine the exact alloy composition, ensuring the new part matches the required mechanical properties
• CAD Reconstruction: Using the scan data, our engineers develop a functional 3D CAD model, correcting any original defects or wear-and-tear discovered during the scan
• Simulation & Validation: We run thermal and stress simulations to ensure the design is robust before moving to the foundry
• Investment Casting & Finishing: The finalized design is transitioned into our high-precision casting process, resulting in a finished component ready for immediate installation
