Reverse Engineering CAD Services
Guenzo converts physical parts, 3D scans, legacy 2D drawings or competitor products into parametric 3D CAD with full manufacturing documentation. We rebuild the design intent so the new model can be modified, optimized and produced.
Who this service is for
- Companies maintaining legacy machinery or spare parts
- Manufacturers replacing obsolete suppliers
- Engineering teams improving existing products
Problems we solve
- Spare parts for machines whose drawings or suppliers are gone
- Competitor or legacy parts that must be reproduced or improved
- 3D scan data that needs to become editable CAD
- Paper drawings that need to become parametric 3D models
Deliverables
- Parametric 3D CAD (SolidWorks, STEP)
- PDF manufacturing drawings
- DXF flat patterns for sheet metal
- Material and process recommendations
- Tolerance and fit analysis vs. the original
Software we use
- SolidWorks (parts, assemblies, drawings)
- Mesh-to-CAD workflows from STL / scan data
- DraftSight / AutoCAD for legacy 2D conversion
- Calipers, micrometers, gauges and (where needed) 3D scanning
Supported manufacturing methods
- CNC milling and turning
- Sheet metal: laser, bending, welding
- Cast and forged parts (machined to drawing)
- 3D printing for fit checks before machining
Example projects
- Spare part for a discontinued machine rebuilt from a sample
- Legacy 2D drawings converted to parametric 3D CAD
- 3D scan converted into clean engineering CAD
Process
- Capture: Measurements, photos, 3D scans, sample parts.
- Rebuild: Parametric CAD with proper features and intent.
- Drawings: PDF drawings, tolerances, BOM.
- Production-ready output: STEP, DXF, PDF for your suppliers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you reverse engineer a physical part?
Yes. We work from measurements, photos, 3D scans or sample parts and rebuild the design as parametric CAD with manufacturing drawings.
Do you work with companies outside Latvia?
Yes. We work remotely with companies across Europe and internationally. Most projects are run by email, video calls, and shared cloud folders.
What CAD file formats can you deliver?
Native SolidWorks (SLDPRT, SLDASM, SLDDRW), STEP, IGES, Parasolid, STL for 3D printing, DXF for laser/waterjet/sheet metal, and PDF manufacturing drawings.
Can you sign an NDA before we share project details?
Yes. We routinely sign NDAs before reviewing concepts, sketches, or existing CAD data.
