Reverse Engineering

Bridge the gap between the physical and digital models. Reverse Engineering is the precise process of capturing the geometry of an existing physical part to create a high-fidelity digital 3D model. This powerful technique allows you to reproduce, repair, or improve upon components for which original designs are lost, obsolete, or simply never existed.

Using advanced 3D scanning and digital reconstruction, we can faithfully replicate complex forms, organic shapes, and critical tolerances, unlocking new life for legacy parts and enabling data-driven innovation.

In Depth Description

Digital Replication of Legacy & Obsolete Parts
Many operational systems rely on parts that are no longer in production or for which blueprints have been lost. Reverse engineering creates a “digital twin” of these components, allowing for on-demand 3D printing of exact replacements. This is vital for maintaining machinery in industries like aerospace, automotive, and heavy industry, preventing costly downtime.

Design Analysis and Performance Improvement
Capture the form of a best-in-class component to understand why it works so well. The digital model can be analyzed using simulation software to identify stress points, optimize wall thickness, or improve airflow. This allows you to not just copy a part, but to enhance its performance, reduce its weight, or strengthen its weak points for a next-generation version.

Seamless Integration and Customization
Create new components that must interface perfectly with existing objects. By reverse engineering the mating part, we can design new attachments, enclosures, or tools with a guaranteed perfect fit. This is essential for creating custom medical prosthetics, bespoke automotive upgrades, or specialized industrial jigs and fixtures.

Accelerated Product Development & Benchmarking
Understand your competition and accelerate your own R&D. By reverse engineering a product (for legal, ethical benchmarking purposes), you can deconstruct its design intent, assembly methods, and material choices. This knowledge provides invaluable insights that can streamline your own development process and inspire innovative solutions.

Preserving Heritage and Enabling Repairs Across the UAE
From restoring classic cars and architectural features to recreating rare components for desalination plants, reverse engineering serves the UAE’s preservation and industrial needs. Our local capabilities ensure that valuable assets are maintained with precision, supporting both cultural heritage and critical infrastructure without relying on international supply chains.

A Foundation for Digital Inventory
Transform your physical spare parts warehouse into a secure, cloud-based digital library. By systematically reverse engineering your critical inventory, you create a resilient supply chain. Should a part fail, you can simply print a replacement on-demand, anywhere in the world, eliminating obsolescence and dramatically reducing lead times.

3DX can process common mesh files, such as stl, obj, step, iges, 3dm.

 

We support mesh file types: STL, OBJ, STEP, IGES, WRL, WRZ, STP, IGS, PLY, ARC, CATProduct, CATShape, CGR, DLV, EXPm, IAM, NEU, PAR, PKG, PRT, PSM, SAB, SESSION, SLDPRT, STPZ, UNV, X_T, XAS, XMT, XPR, 3DM, 3dMXL, ASM, CATPart, IPT, JT, MF1, MODEL, SAT, U3D, VDA, VRML, X_B, HPMJF

 

Please note that while some file types will upload successfully, others may not be used to submit an order on our platform. We suggest you refer to the above lists to avoid any upload failures. 3DX does not accept drawing files (except when accompanied by a CAD file), or IGES and F3D files. Below is a list of exceptional file types and in what instances they can be used to place an order with 3DX: 3DX cannot currently quote or make parts based on assembly files. If you are interested in ordering an assembly, each part will need to have its own CAD file.

However, if you are uploading your Bill Of Material for production, 3DX will accept assembly files as supplementary information. Common assembly file types are .sldasm, .asm, .iam, and .catproduct. The only time you may upload a drawing file is when it's in conjunction with a CAD file, and it must be in PDF format. We do not accept .slddrw, .dxf, or .catdrawing files. We also cannot quote a project based on a drawing alone.
