FARO coordinate measuring machine (CMM) and laser scanning is used for the most precise measurements.

Reverse Engineering Services

Q: How can reverse engineering help my business?

Reverse engineering allows us to recreate parts that are no longer available. We can also use it to analyse components for performance enhancements.

Q: What types of parts can you reverse engineer?

We can reverse engineer a wide range of components, including mechanical parts, machinery components, custom fittings, and critical wear parts.

Q: Can you reverse engineer a part if it’s damaged or incomplete?

Yes, our technology allows us to scan and measure even worn or broken parts. In cases where data is missing, our engineers can reconstruct the missing details based on design principles

Q: How long does the reverse engineering process take?

Our turnaround will depend on the complexity of the part. Simple components can usually be scanned and recreated within days, while more complex projects may take longer. Contact our Reverse Engineering Services team for an estimate based on your unique needs.

Q: Do you provide CAD files for the reverse-engineered part?

Yes, we create 3D CAD files that can be used for creating prototypes or used for production.

Q: Can you manufacture the part once you’ve reverse engineered it?

Yes, our nationwide CNC machine shops can produce the part ensuring durability and performance.

Q: Can you come to my site to measure parts or machinery?

Yes, we can. Our portable FARO ScanArm allows us to visit your site and take precise 3D measurements directly from your equipment or components. This helps minimise downtime and ensures an accurate digital capture of your parts.

Give us your part, and we’ll recreate it, even if it’s broken or worn out. We’ve invested heavily in cutting-edge technology and training to help our customers replace old or obsolete parts with new, high-performance components.
