Recreating Parts, Restoring Performance
Reverse Engineering
We specialise in reverse engineering components where documentation is lost, supply has lapsed or design needs a second life. From worn parts to legacy assemblies, we turn physical samples into accurate, fully machined replacements.
Reverse Engineering
Whether you’re dealing with a worn, obsolete or unsupported component, we provide a reverse engineering service designed to recreate it.
Our team works from physical samples, partial data or legacy designs to deliver high-accuracy replacements that perform like the original, or better. We support industries where downtime is costly and parts are critical, from legacy vehicles and industrial systems to specialist assemblies and custom machinery.
Our Reverse Engineering Process
We use a combination of hands-on expertise and modern technology to restore or reproduce components accurately. Our process typically includes:
Sample evaluation and dimensional capture
CAD model generation and design verification
Material identification and surface analysis
CNC programming and prototype machining
Test fitting and final production
Whether you need a one-off or a small batch, we deliver components with the same care and quality as a fully spec’d production part.
Common Reverse Engineering Applications
Our reverse engineering capabilities are ideal for:
Legacy automotive and motorsport parts
Discontinued or unsupported OEM components
Damaged or worn items with no available documentation
Adaptations for accessibility, mobility or retrofits
Replacements for supplier shortages or long lead times
We can also incorporate value engineering improvements, material upgrades or design refinements as needed.
Quality and Practicality Combined
All reverse engineering work is delivered under our ISO 9001-certified quality system, with documentation to match. Where appropriate, we apply AS9100-level process control to ensure consistency and traceability – particularly for parts used in regulated sectors.
You benefit from:
Clear, accurate design data created from physical parts
Expert material selection and machining guidance
Quick turnaround and open, technical communication
Full documentation and inspection options available
