Reverse engineering

Engineering reconstruction of critical rotating-equipment components where original engineering data is unavailable.

Advanced 3D scanning, CAD reconstruction and material analysis are used to develop verified engineering specifications for accurate component replication.

01The process

From a worn component to a verified replacement.

CONDITION ASSESSMENTMATERIAL ANALYSISSPECIFICATION VERIFIEDINSPECTED
  1. 01

    Assess

    Inspect the component and its duty, recording wear, damage and any available OEM data.

  2. 02

    Scan & measure

    Capture the full geometry by 3D scanning, with critical fits and tolerances confirmed by direct measurement.

  3. 03

    Reconstruct

    Convert the scan data into a CAD model, correcting for wear, and issue drawings with tolerances.

  4. 04

    Analyse

    Identify the material through chemical composition and hardness testing.

  5. 05

    Validate

    Review the model and material against fit, function and operating requirements before release.

  6. 06

    Manufacture & inspect

    Manufacture to the verified specification and inspect against the model before delivery.

02Component range

Critical parts, recreated to specification.

01Turbine rotors

02Turbine blades

03Gearbox components

04Legacy spares

03Engineering integrity

Replication built on verified engineering.

The reconstructed specification maintains the requirements that matter to component fit, function and reliability.
