Today, most critical spare parts fail not because they can't be manufactured, but because the data is missing.
Part Recovery delivers a structured technical path: from the existing legacy part through analysis, reconstruction, manufacturing and inspection to a part that is fit for service again.
The original part is end-of-life, has extreme lead times or is no longer supported by the manufacturer. We assess whether the part can be reconstructed, repaired or replaced by a functionally equivalent solution.
Housings · brackets · flanges · covers · guides · machine elements · older cast or welded parts · special parts from small series
When the original manufacturer drops out, often not only parts are missing, but also drawings, material data and process knowledge. We start from the existing part.
Capture geometry · understand function · determine material · assess wear · derive manufacturing route · define inspection scope
The goal is not the perfect historical copy, but a technically responsible replacement.
Many older assets run with parts that no longer have reliable documentation. Reverse engineering means: the real part is measured, technically interpreted and converted into usable data.
3D CAD model · technical drawing · manufacturing data · inspection features · change documentation · part dossier
A worn-out part is rarely a clean template. That is exactly why scanning alone is not enough. We distinguish original geometry, wear pattern, defect, functional surface, installation area and permissible deviation.
Then we decide whether repair, rebuild, reconstruction or replacement manufacturing makes sense.
For legacy parts the material data is often incomplete or wrong. We clarify, as far as technically required: base material, hardness, coating, microstructure, wear mechanism, temperature and medium contact — for polymers and elastomers also polymer base, hardness, ageing, fillers and function.
Only then is the replacement material defined.
Not every spare part requires the same effort. That is why we work with three recovery levels.
For simple spare parts with low documentation requirements.
Covers · brackets · simple plastic parts · non-safety-critical fixture parts · non-critical housings
Dimensional inspection · material declaration · simple manufacturing documentation
For industrial functional parts with clear technical responsibility.
Metal parts with functional surfaces · wear parts · spare parts with mating and installation surfaces · parts with medium, temperature or load contact
3D measurement · CAD reconstruction · material analysis · defined inspection features · manufacturing documentation · inspection report
For parts with elevated documentation, quality or traceability requirements.
Rail · process industry · energy assets · infrastructure · defence · spare parts subject to documentation requirements
Recovery Check · inspection plan · traceability · material certificates · qualified manufacturing route · dimensional and inspection report · technical part dossier · obsolescence assessment
When drawings, CAD data or the supplier are missing, we turn the existing part back into a technical foundation for manufacturing, inspection and re-supply.

We reconstruct, repair or re-manufacture metal spare parts — with the right combination of analysis, deposition, welding, CNC machining and inspection.

We replace technical plastic and elastomer parts not blindly by geometry, but via function, material, installation context and a realistic manufacturing route.

When the base body is still usable, we rebuild worn or damaged areas in a targeted way and restore functional surfaces.

You provide photos, existing drawings, quantity, installation context and known issues. If no data is available, the real part is often enough to start.
We assess: can the part be reconstructed? Is repair more sensible than new manufacture? Which function is critical? Which proof is required? Which manufacturing route is realistic?
The result is not a blanket commitment, but a technical first assessment.
We define: reverse engineering, repair, replacement manufacturing, material substitution, additive manufacturing, classical manufacturing — or a combination.
What matters is not the process, but the reliable result.
Depending on the part, additive, welding, machining or polymer-engineering processes are used. Manufacturing follows from function, material, quantity, lead time and proof requirements.
Depending on the recovery level we deliver dimensional inspection, material documentation, manufacturing documentation, inspection report, part dossier and re-supply data.
After a successful recovery the part is no longer an emergency. It can be carried as a technical dataset, qualified manufacturing route and re-supplyable spare part.
The more information available, the more reliable the first assessment. Missing data is not a blocker — that is exactly what the Recovery Check is for.
