Reverse Engineering for Obsolete & Broken Parts

Reverse Engineering for Obsolete & Broken Parts in Dubai

When a part is obsolete, discontinued, or broken and the OEM can't help, IJK Labs can. We 3D scan the original part — even if it's worn, cracked, or partly missing — reconstruct it as a clean CAD model, and manufacture a replacement. Based in Dubai, serving the whole UAE.

Reverse Engineering for Obsolete & Broken Parts

From a broken part to a working replacement

Obsolete and broken parts are one of the most common reasons clients come to us. A machine goes down, the manufacturer has discontinued the component or gone out of business, and no drawings exist. Rather than replace the entire machine, we reverse engineer the failed part and remanufacture it.

Even damaged parts are recoverable. Using our Shining 3D EinScan HX2 (up to 0.04 mm accuracy), we capture whatever geometry survives, then our engineers reconstruct missing or worn features in CAD based on the part's function, mating surfaces, and symmetry. If you have the intact part from the other side of an assembly or a photo of the original, that helps us rebuild it exactly.

We remanufacture in the right process for the job — 3D printing for polymers and rapid replacements, CNC machining or casting for metal parts — and can upgrade the material to something stronger or more corrosion-resistant than the original. You also get a permanent digital archive so future re-orders take days, not weeks.

Capabilities

Reverse Engineering capabilities

Full-service digital fabrication under one roof in Dubai.

No Original Drawings

Legacy machinery, old parts, foreign equipment — we can still manufacture replacements.

Faster Than Measuring

Days, not weeks. We scan the whole part in hours, model the features in CAD.

More Accurate

Sub-millimeter vs ±0.5mm by hand. CAD model is parametric, modifiable, reusable.

Digital Archive

Future re-orders, modifications, or audits — the digital file is forever.

Design Improvement

RE the current design, modify the CAD, manufacture the improved version.

Marker-Based Scanning

For deep grooves and hard-to-reach areas we scan with Capilier reference markers to lock alignment and capture geometry other methods miss.

Quality Control

Scan a production part and compare to original CAD. Sub-mm deviation reports.

Process

How it works

From inquiry to delivery — straightforward, transparent, fast.

01

Physical Part

You bring or ship us the part, or we visit your site.

02

3D Scan

High-accuracy scan captures every surface (millions of data points).

03

Point Cloud to Mesh

We process the raw scan into a clean 3D mesh.

04

Geomagic Processing

We refine the mesh in Geomagic — cleanup, hole-filling, decimation, and surface preparation — so it's optimised and ready for accurate CAD.

FAQ

Reverse Engineering for Obsolete & Broken Parts — frequently asked

Can you reverse engineer a part that's already broken?+
Yes — it's one of our specialties. We scan whatever geometry remains and reconstruct the missing or worn features in CAD using the part's function, mating surfaces, and symmetry. A photo of the original or the matching part from the other side of an assembly makes the rebuild even more precise.
The manufacturer no longer exists — can you still help?+
Absolutely. Discontinued parts and defunct manufacturers are exactly when reverse engineering is most valuable. As long as you have the physical part — even damaged — we can almost always produce a working replacement.
How accurate is the replacement?+
We scan at up to 0.04 mm with our EinScan HX2 and model with proper tolerances for your manufacturing method. We guarantee dimensional accuracy to the agreed tolerance and recommend a 3D-printed validation prototype before final production for critical parts.
How long does it take?+
Rush turnaround starts from 72 hours; standard timelines vary by the size and complexity of the part. We give you a firm timeline with your quote.
