Legacy products often only have 2D drawings. Our 2D drawing to 3D CAD conversion process captures the physical part and recreates precise engineering drawings. Reverse engineering legacy components can break down these parts virtually to help professionals understand how they work. Modernizing legacy components is more cost-effective and saves time compared to designing a new product, allowing your company to provide the items your customers need. Your company can also get updated 3D computer-aided design (CAD) data and engineering drawings. Our legacy product modernization and product modernization services help manufacturers recover lost design data and continue production without starting from scratch.

Benefits of Reverse Engineering Legacy Components

Regenerating legacy components through reverse engineering offers the following benefits:

  • Alleviate supply chain issues: Supply chain disruptions can affect your ability to deliver products. Our legacy product modernization provides manufacturers with supply chain disruption solutions by recreating components without waiting for new parts. Reverse engineering an older product instead of creating a new one allows your company to mitigate these issues.
  • Keep production on time: Reverse engineering can help your company prevent production delays and keep your operations going. In circumstances such as a parts shortage, you can modernize your legacy products instead of waiting on the components for new parts.
  • Modernize valuable products: Some legacy products can benefit from a redesign instead of elimination from your production line altogether. Reverse engineering can assess the design and function of a legacy product to identify changes that could bring it up to modern standards, and gives your team the 3D CAD data needed for future manufacturing.
  • Obtain part blueprints and designs: The prints and designs of legacy products can get lost, especially with company mergers. The reverse engineering process reviews the physical product to generate a CAD drawing of its design. Our old part CAD conversion services recreate these lost blueprints from a physical sample.

What Information Do I Need to Provide to Reverse Engineer My Legacy Product?

We recommend submitting all the information you have about your legacy component to our team to aid the reverse engineering process. The more detail you provide, the faster our team can complete reverse engineering of your legacy parts. The most beneficial resources include:

  • A sample part for identifying the material, finish, tolerances and features.
  • End-use information to assess operating conditions and wear and tear.
  • Application environment such as temperature and weather to determine the material and finish the part needs to last.
  • Complete and incomplete CAD drawings and models to act as a starting point for our process.
