Send us the terminal — or just photos. We measure every structural part, rebuild the CAD, confirm the drawings with you, and manufacture the full set. No CAD file required at any stage.
You do not need any drawings or CAD files at any stage of this process. We work from whatever you have:
If you can ship the physical terminal, that gives us the most complete measurement data and the fastest turnaround. If you cannot ship it, send sharp photos from all six faces (front, back, left, right, top, bottom) with a tape measure or ruler visible — this is sufficient for most housing and cover geometries.
Ship the terminal (or photos). We confirm receipt and begin measurement. Physical samples are handled with care and returned after measurement.
We disassemble the terminal to its individual structural parts and measure each one — outer housing, battery cover, scanner window, keypad frame, charging dock. Wall thicknesses, snap geometry, boss positions, port cutouts.
Each measured part is modelled in CAD. Typically 5–7 business days for a full terminal structural set. Free with your quote.
You review the drawings. Reproduce exactly, or mark changes: different surface, modified ports, thicker wall, improved latch. We update the CAD before manufacturing.
Prototype set manufactured in CNC machining or vacuum casting. Parts assembled and checked before shipping.
Once the prototype set is approved, we move to injection molding for higher volumes. The same CAD is used — no re-measurement needed.
Many clients use the reverse engineering process not just to reproduce a terminal, but to improve on it. Common changes we make during the CAD stage:
Original returned after measurement. We return your reference terminal with the first CAD drawings. You keep the original while we manufacture — useful if the terminal is in active service.
Ship the reference terminal (or just the structural shell) to our factory. We disassemble, measure, and return the original. If you can't ship, send clear photos from all angles with a ruler in frame.
Either. Exact reproduction, or you mark up the drawings after we send them and specify changes. We update the CAD before manufacturing.
No problem — tell us which parts you need. We quote only what you want manufactured and skip the rest.
CAD reconstruction: 5–7 business days after receiving the sample. CNC/vacuum casting prototype: 10–15 additional business days. We confirm the timeline in your quote.
