Reverse Engineering Services for Obsolete and Legacy Parts

A machine is still in service, a part has failed, and the original supplier stopped making it years ago. Tesla Mechanical Designs rebuilds the engineering data from whatever is left: a physical sample, a damaged part, a 3D scan or point cloud, an old PDF drawing, even a photograph with reference dimensions. Our engineers study how the part functions, how it is manufactured, and where the tolerances actually matter, then produce the CAD model and the drawings a fabricator can quote and build from. Work covers industrial machinery, fabricated assemblies, sheet metal enclosures, process skids, transportation equipment and marine structures. What we work from and what you get back: - Start from what you still have physical samples, worn or damaged parts, point clouds, STL and mesh files, old 2D drawings, scanned PDFs, hand sketches, or existing CAD that needs cleanup - Obsolete parts reverse engineering for machinery components, shafts, housings, guards, machine bases and custom equipment parts whose supplier has gone - Fabricated assemblies treated as fabrications member layouts, weld details, plate profiles, bolt patterns, lifting points and BOM structure, not just outer geometry - Sheet metal rebuilt with bend radii, reliefs, K-factor assumptions, flat pattern development and hardware details, for enclosures, cabinets, covers, guards and access panels - Deliverables as the project needs them: parametric CAD, STEP, IGES, Parasolid, STL or native files, 2D manufacturing and fabrication drawings, machining drawings, DXF flat patterns, assembly drawings, exploded views, BOMs and GD&T - A six-step workflow requirement review and NDA, input collection, measurement and data interpretation, CAD reconstruction, drawing and documentation, quality review and delivery Why Choose Us: CAD reverse engineering here is not geometry copying. Our engineers look at how the part fits its mating components, how it will be machined or welded, and where it has been failing then hand back design improvement recommendations alongside the model. Output arrives in whichever platform your team already runs: SolidWorks, Creo, Solid Edge, Inventor, Fusion 360, AutoCAD, Plant 3D, CADWorx, STAAD.Pro, ANSYS Workbench or NestingWorks. The work is built for USA manufacturers, OEMs, fabricators and procurement teams needing structured offshore engineering support. Every project can begin under NDA, and you hear directly from a senior mechanical design engineer within one business day.
