Reverse Engineering
Reverse Engineering
At Tancredi Machining, Inc., we provide reverse engineering services to help customers recreate, improve, or modify existing parts when original drawings aren't available. Whether you have a worn component, an outdated design, or a part that needs modernizing, we can translate your physical sample into accurate, machinable data.
What Is Reverse Engineering?
Reverse engineering is the process of measuring an existing part and turning it into a usable digital model or drawing. This allows us to reproduce the component or adjust the design for improved performance, fit, or manufacturability.
Why Choose Reverse Engineering?
- No Drawings? No problem.
- We create accurate models from a sample part when documentation doesn't exist.
- Restore or Replace Worn Components
- Ideal for older machinery, discontinued parts, or equipment that's difficult to source.
- Improve or Modernize a Design
- Modify geometry, add features, refine tolerances, or update materials.
- Faster Project Turnaround
- Get a new part made quickly when OEM lead times are long.
What Can We Reverse Engineer?
- Industrial machine components
- Bushings, spacers, pins, and shafts
- Brackets, plates, and housings
- Custom hardware or prototype parts
- Small mechanical assemblies
- Legacy components with no CAD data
Our Process
- Physical Part Evaluation - We examine the component's geometry, wear points, and functional requirements.
- Dimensional Measurement - Using precision inspection tools, we capture key dimensions and critical features.
- CAD Model or Drawing Creation - We recreate the part in CAD, adjusting for wear as needed to restore the intended tolerances.
- Machining & Production - Once approved, we machine the part using our milling, turning, or multi-tasking capabilities.
Our Approach to Quality
We focus on capturing accurate measurements and translating them into clean, reliable CAD data. Throughout the process, we validate critical dimensions and ensure the final part performs as intended in its real application.
