Service

Reverse Engineering

We measure, scan, and rebuild physical parts into CAD for prototypes, tooling, or production.

Evidence to CAD

Rebuild usable geometry from broken, unavailable, or undocumented parts.

Inputs we need

  • Original part or fragment
  • Photos and measurements
  • CAD or drawings if available

Best fit

  • A sample exists but production files do not
  • Mounting or fitment geometry must be preserved
  • The replacement can improve without changing the assembly

Deliverables

  • Inspection notes and assumptions
  • CAD-ready geometry or corrected model data
  • Prototype or production route recommendation

Validation path

  • Interface dimensions checked against the sample
  • Prototype fit review when geometry risk is high
  • Manufacturing method selected after material review

Risk notes

  • Damaged samples may leave missing-surface assumptions
  • Flexible parts may need fit validation

Examples

  • Broken plastic cover
  • Mounting bracket
  • Interior trim component

Poor fit

  • No sample, dimensions, photos, or installation context
  • Certification is required outside the project scope

Evaluation intake

Ready to review a hard-to-source part?

Send photos, CAD, drawings, or notes. We review the route before pricing or production.

What to send

Photos

Clear views of the part, damaged areas, mounting points, and surrounding assembly.

Files

CAD, drawings, sketches, scans, PDFs, or prior production notes when available.

Dimensions

Critical measurements, fitment surfaces, tolerances, or known clearance limits.

Use context

Quantity, material goals, heat, load, vibration, wear, finish, and safety constraints.

Review style

Technical evaluation before pricing

Best inputs

Photos, broken part, CAD, drawings, quantity

Project types

One-off, prototype, small batch, repeat production
