From Design to Production, We’ve Got You Covered
Revitalise and future-proof legacy parts
Not every item that has ever been manufactured comes with an engineering drawing or a 3D CAD model. Regardless of whether this is because of its age or that the drawing or file has simply been lost or perhaps has never existed, reproduction of the items is still possible with our reverse engineering solution.
Over the years, we have used reverse engineering to reproduce master patterns where these historical items no longer exist. Not only have our engineering pattern makers produced patterns for castings in various grades; covering everything from pump parts to architectural heritage castings, but they have also reproduced moulds for period decorative plaster mouldings, produced GRP panels for vintage cars, and even handcrafted timber products for bespoke heritage carpentry. With our technical knowledge, traditional skills and modern technology, we analyse the item to understand its design and its functionality to provide you with the perfect reverse engineering solution.
No matter the item, through reverse engineering we can bring your part back to life and future-proof its production.
