Reverse Engineering
Transform existing parts into editable CAD models.
When there's no CAD file, no drawing, and no original manufacturer to call — reverse engineering turns the physical object in your hands into an accurate, editable 3D model you can modify, reproduce, or manufacture.
Our Reverse Engineering service recreates physical components into accurate and editable digital CAD models for redesign, analysis, manufacturing, or replacement purposes. This service is especially valuable when original CAD files, technical drawings, or manufacturing data are unavailable or outdated.
Using measurements, engineering analysis, reference geometry, and scanning data when necessary, we reconstruct parts with high dimensional accuracy while maintaining functionality and manufacturability. The recreated CAD models can then be modified, optimized, reproduced, or prepared for manufacturing processes such as 3D printing, CNC machining, and injection molding.
Reverse engineering is commonly used for replacement parts, discontinued products, legacy equipment, custom modifications, damaged components, and modernization projects. It allows businesses and individuals to reproduce unavailable parts, improve existing designs, and extend the lifespan of products and machinery without requiring original engineering documentation.
Our engineering-focused workflow ensures that recreated models are not simply visual copies, but technically functional and production-ready designs. We carefully evaluate tolerances, assembly requirements, material considerations, and manufacturing methods to ensure the final component performs correctly in real-world applications.
Whether you need to reproduce a single component or reverse engineer an entire assembly, we provide professional technical support and accurate CAD development solutions tailored to your specific project requirements.

Send part details
Photos, dimensions, the physical part itself, or scan data if available.
Part analysis
We assess geometry, tolerances, and functional requirements.
CAD reconstruction
The part is rebuilt as an accurate, editable 3D model.
Final file delivery
CAD files and manufacturing-ready documentation.
Typical prices
| Service | Typical price (EUR) | Based on |
|---|---|---|
| Simple part recreation | €90–180 | Single part, standard geometry, measured by hand |
| Complex mechanical parts | Custom quote | Tight tolerances, functional surfaces |
| Full product reverse engineering | Custom quote | Multi-part assembly |
Ranges are indicative for typical jobs. Every project is quoted after a short review of your files: you receive a written quote within 1–2 business days, before any work starts.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to ship you the physical part?
Not always — accurate photos and measurements are often enough for simpler geometry. For tight-tolerance or complex parts, having the physical part (or a scan) improves accuracy.
Can you improve the part while reconstructing it, not just copy it?
Yes — flag what you'd like changed (material, strength, fit) and we'll factor that into the reconstruction.
What do I receive at the end?
An editable CAD file (STEP) plus technical drawings if needed for manufacturing.

Have a part with no drawing?
Send photos and dimensions — we'll tell you what's needed to rebuild it as editable CAD.
