Reverse Engineering
If you have the part, we can help recreate it.
When drawings, CAD files, or manufacturer support are no longer available, ForceWerks can reverse engineer existing components and develop the information needed to reproduce, repair, modify, or improve them.
Remote Reverse Engineering — Keep your part. Capture it with your smartphone and send the images to us. No shipping required.
Remote Reverse Engineering
Keep your part. We'll recreate it.
Our specialized scanning process lets you capture your part with your smartphone and send the images to ForceWerks — no shipping required.
Capture with your phone
Use your smartphone camera and our guided scanning process to capture your part from every angle.
Send the images to us
Upload your scans directly to ForceWerks. No crating, no shipping, no risk of losing your only sample.
We engineer the rest
Our team processes the data, builds the CAD model, and manufactures your replacement part.
Legacy & obsolete parts
Keep existing equipment operating.
Equipment doesn't always become obsolete when a component does. ForceWerks can help reproduce hard-to-find, discontinued, or obsolete components so you can keep existing equipment operating.
Whether the original manufacturer is out of business, the part is no longer supported, or lead times are simply unacceptable, we can develop a path to get you what you need.
Our process
From existing part to finished component.
Inspect
Understand the existing component, its function, and its operating environment.
Measure
Capture critical dimensions, features, and surface conditions.
Model
Create accurate CAD geometry from the measured data.
Engineer
Determine materials, tolerances, interfaces, and manufacturability requirements.
Manufacture
Produce the replacement or reproduction component.
Modify / Improve
When appropriate, improve the design rather than simply copying it.
Beyond reproduction
Don't just reproduce it. Improve it.
Reverse engineering doesn't have to mean making an exact copy. When appropriate, ForceWerks can identify opportunities to improve manufacturability, durability, functionality, or serviceability.
That moves the conversation from "can you copy this part?" to "can you help us solve the problem this part was causing?" — and that's where the real value is.
Have a part you can't get anymore?
Tell us what you have, what you need, and what it's for. We'll take it from there.
