REVERSE ENGINEERING SERVICES
Reverse Engineering Services
Reverse engineering services provide businesses with the ability to analyze and reconstruct existing products, enabling them to understand design intricacies and improve upon them. SIMTEK, a leading SOLIDWORKS reseller in Chennai, Coimbatore, Kolhapur & the rest of Tamilnadu, and India brings inspiring capabilities to reverse engineering. In the highly competitive global marketplace, manufacturers are constantly looking for ways to shorten the time to market a new product. More and more manufacturers are opting for reverse engineering services because:
The original manufacturer of a product no longer produces a product.
There is inadequate documentation of the original design.
The original manufacturer no longer exists, but a customer needs the product.
The original design document was lost or never existed.
Some bad features of a product need to be designed out.
New avenues need to be explored to improve product performance and functionality.
We work in detail with customers and understand their complete needs. All products and solutions are simulated before prototyping to ensure the highest chances of success. We support all aspects of the project including but not limited to initial analysis, design, testing, simulations, optimization, design analysis, redesigning, and manufacturing.

FAQs
What types of objects can you reverse engineer?
We can reverse engineer a wide range of objects, from small precision components to large industrial machinery. Our diverse scanning technologies allow us to capture data from various materials and sizes.
How accurate are your reverse engineered models?
Our models typically achieve accuracies within 0.025mm to 0.1mm, depending on the object’s size and complexity. We always strive for the highest possible accuracy and validate our results against the original object.
Can you reverse engineer internal components?
Yes, we use CT scanning technology to capture internal geometries without destructive testing. This is particularly useful for complex assemblies or when non-invasive analysis is required.
How do you handle intellectual property concerns in reverse engineering?
We strictly adhere to ethical reverse engineering practices and respect intellectual property rights. We work within legal frameworks and can sign NDAs to protect your interests. Our services focus on understanding and improving designs, not infringing on patents.
Can you help with obsolete or out-of-production parts?
Absolutely! One of the key applications of our reverse engineering services is recreating obsolete parts for which no original documentation exists. We can help you bring these parts back into production with modern manufacturing methods.
