Ship us the part — worn, broken or intact. We measure every feature on CMM, reconstruct the CAD for free, and manufacture an exact replacement. No drawing, no part number required.
When you have the physical part — even worn, cracked or broken into pieces — you have everything we need. A sample gives us direct access to every feature: bore diameters, thread forms, gear tooth profiles, keyway positions, surface finishes. We measure the actual geometry, not a photograph of it.
Photos and hand sketches are useful when the sample is unavailable, but they introduce interpretation risk that a CMM eliminates. If you have the part, ship it — we work from that first.
| Feature | How we measure | Typical accuracy |
|---|---|---|
| Bores and shafts | CMM and bore gauge | ±0.005–0.01 mm |
| Threads | Thread gauge + CMM pitch check | Class matched to standard |
| Gear teeth | Gear comparator, span measurement | Module ±0.05 mm, pressure angle confirmed |
| Freeform surfaces | 3D scanning where CMM not applicable | ±0.05–0.1 mm |
| General dimensions | CMM | ±0.01–0.02 mm |
| Surface finish | Profilometer or reference comparison | Ra noted; matched or improved |
Describe the part and send photos. We confirm it is measurable and give you the shipping address. Don't ship before making contact — we may need specific handling instructions for fragile originals.
Send by tracked courier. We advise on customs paperwork — machined parts shipped as samples typically have low customs complexity.
Every feature is measured. Worn surfaces are restored to design intent: a worn 25 mm journal that should be 25h6 is reconstructed as 25h6, not as-worn. We note any assumptions for your review.
We send the reconstructed 3D model and drawing. You confirm it matches the original intent and flag any improvements. Approval is required before we cut.
CNC turning, milling, or casting depending on the part. Every critical dimension inspected against the approved model. Shipped with an inspection report.
Can you improve on the original? Yes — the CAD review stage is the right moment. If the original wore at a specific point, we can add radius, harden that surface, or switch to a better material. Most customers keep the same geometry; some take the opportunity to upgrade.
Any condition — intact, worn, cracked, broken into pieces. Worn surfaces are restored to the original design intent, not copied worn. Broken parts can be reassembled for measurement; we confirm what is usable before you ship anything.
Yes if you request it. We return the sample with your finished parts. If the part is scrap, we dispose of it. Tell us your preference when you submit the inquiry.
Send it anyway. We assess wear first and tell you which features are geometrically recoverable and which must be inferred from context — standard bore fits, thread tables, the shaft it runs on. We confirm the reconstruction approach with you before cutting anything.
Yes. After measuring we present the CAD for confirmation — that is the stage to upgrade: harder steel, bronze instead of plastic, larger fillet radius at the stress point, tighter tolerance on the journal. We reproduce the original geometry and then apply any improvements you specify.
Any condition accepted. Engineers reply in 24h.
