Reverse Engineering Services

Restore, Improve, and Redesign Critical Parts

Whether it’s precision gear, or obsolete electronics, our reverse engineering team captures every detail with high resolution scans, transforms the data into fully editable CAD, and prototypes in-house to verify form, fit, and function.

Get Started With Us
Reverse engineering services and obsolesence management

Make Old New Again.

Our reverse engineering workflow drives proactive obsolescence management, upgrading assets when suppliers disappear, drawings are lost, regulations change, technologies shift, or materials become unavailable.

Information Extraction

High resolution scans, detailed photographs, and thorough on-site surveys capture every geometric and functional detail, plus material clues that guide obsolescence strategy.

Digital Modelling

Point clouds become parametric CAD with fabrication drawings, BOMs, assembly guides, inspection reports, and DFM ready GD&T tolerances, Gerbers, and cut files.

Review & Qualification

We build a prototype, run FMEA and functional tests, confirm performance against the legacy device, and secure customer sign off to ensure quality assurance and future traceability.

When We’re Done, You Own This.

Deliverables that lock in accuracy, traceability, manufacturability, and long-term supply chain resilience.

CAD Models

Laser-scan and stereophotogrammetry data stream into SolidWorks or Inventor, producing fully parametric solid models. Files flow straight into CAM and PLM, so teams can machine, 3D print, or simulate without re-work.

Assembly Mapping & BOM

You receive an exploded assembly map and a bill of materials linked to the CAD. Every fastener, gasket, and torque spec traces back to scan data and is managed in SolidWorks or Inventor PDM. Each prototype ships with a functional test report.

IC Identification & Connectivity

We decode obscure IC markings, probe pin-outs, and deliver a connectivity map plus part number cross references vital for sourcing replacement components or redesigning legacy boards.

Firmware Extraction & Documentation

For embedded devices, we recreate firmware source files by combining extensive system testing, reviews of manuals and release notes, and extraction-plus-analysis of existing flash images.

Generic Obsolescence Snapshot

A quick turn matrix ranks each component by lifecycle stage, last time-buy status, and authorised alternates, giving stakeholders a clear path to mitigate supply chain risk.

Scan to Print Spares

Clean point clouds are converted to faceted STL and printed in SLS, MJF, or metal PBF. Certified spares arrive fast, restoring equipment and maintaining uptime.

Scan to Analysis Meshes

When stress, heat, or flow matter, we supply simulation ready meshes for Ansys, Abaqus, or Star-CCM+. Meticulous cleanup yields accurate FEA/CFD on the first run.

Form Fit Function Verification

Final prototypes undergo dimensional checks, bench tests, and side by side runs against the original. Results and customer feedback are compiled into a verification report that confirms the replacement performs identically or better under real operating loads.

Long Term Archiving

All 3D scans, CAD files, schematics, and firmware images are stored in secure, version controlled storage, so certified data is always available for audits, redesigns, or future spare part builds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is reverse engineering?
It is the methodical process of scanning an existing part or assembly, capturing every surface and material, then rebuilding it as an editable 3-D CAD model, drawings, and a bill of materials. Companies turn to reverse engineering when prints are missing, suppliers vanish, or regulations now require a digital twin.
How is reverse engineering different from re-engineering?
Reverse engineering documents what exists. Re-engineering alters that baseline, for example adding sensors or reducing weight. Many projects capture first and improve second.
When do you generally need reverse engineering service?

Common reasons include obsolete parts, lost documentation, design upgrades, interoperability gaps, digital-twin mandates, or competitive analysis. A verified digital copy lets you reproduce, certify, or improve hardware with confidence.

Do you provide support for electronic component obsolescence?
Absolutely. We decode component markings, map connectivity, redesign obsolete parts, and generate fresh Gerbers files so boards can be built with current-generation components.

How do you guarantee accuracy and fit?

We begin with high-resolution laser scanning on equipment calibrated to national traceability standards. The captured data is overlaid onto the CAD model so our engineers can check every surface and feature.

Next we run full GD&T tolerance studies, build a physical prototype, fit it to the mating hardware, and carry out load or functional tests. Only when that prototype meets all dimensional and performance targets do we release the final CAD, drawings, and bill of materials.

Do you provide support for part obsolescence?

Current geopolitics is driving the renewal of defense and security systems as the landscape shifts. Legacy platforms require life extension while new technologies enter the battlefield. Enginuity guides clients through the obsolescence management process at the component, sub-assembly, and full-system levels.

We provide support by identifying suitable replacements, recommending redesigns, and, when necessary, managing complete system overhauls.

Can you adapt your development process and technologies to our specific needs?

Yes. Whether you're using an internal DevOps pipeline, require code handoff for in-house teams, or need us to co-develop with your hardware engineers, we adapt to your need. We can embed with your team remotely, provide flexible sprint planning, and offer modular delivery aligned to your roadmap.

Is reverse engineering useful for product security or patent checks?

Absolutely. By disassembling and modelling a competitor’s device we can reveal hidden components, estimate costs, spot potential patent conflicts, and recommend design work-arounds.

How do you manage IP and compliance when reverse engineering hardware or firmware?
