Reverse engineering and replacement parts in Yorkshire
Some parts can no longer be bought. The maker has closed, the drawings are lost, or the part was a one-off.
A 3D scan captures the shape of the part you have. We turn that scan into a file an engineer, machinist or 3D printer can work from.
We’ll call you back the same day.
How 3D scanning helps
- Captures complex curves that are hard to measure by hand.
- Gives you a digital copy, so you are not relying on one fragile original.
- Speeds up redrawing the part in CAD, because the designer starts from real measurements.
- Lets you change the design, for example making a weak area thicker, before it is made again.
What you can get
- Mesh file (STL or OBJ) of the scanned part
- CAD-ready model (for example STEP) built from the scan, if you need one
- Key measurements or a simple drawing, on request
We confirm file types and level of detail in your quote.
Who it suits
- Engineering and maintenance teams
- Small manufacturers
- Farm, plant and machinery owners
- Hobbyists and makers
Good to know
- A worn or broken part gives a scan of the worn or broken shape. Tell us what the part should look like and we can discuss how to model it.
- Shiny, black or see-through surfaces can be hard to scan. We may need to use a temporary scanning spray, and only with your permission.
- We are happy to sign your NDA or confidentiality agreement before we see or scan anything.
