I will do reverse engineer broken parts from photos and make replacement cad models


About this gig
Do you need to recreate a broken, damaged, or discontinued part? I will reverse engineer your component from photos, sketches, and measurements and create a 3D CAD model for replacement or manufacturing.
I specialize in reverse engineering, replacement part design, mechanical part modeling, and 3D CAD modeling using SolidWorks. Whether you need a plastic housing, bracket, knob, cover, clip, or other mechanical component recreated, I can help turn your reference images into an editable CAD model.
Depending on your package, I can provide the 3D model, source files, technical drawings, and export formats such as STEP, STL, and IGES.
To get started, please provide clear photos from multiple angles and any available measurements. Additional dimensions may be necessary to achieve an accurate fit, as photos alone may not reveal every detail.
Please contact me before ordering complex parts or assemblies so we can confirm your requirements, project scope, and deliverables. Lets bring your replacement part design to life!

FAQ
What do you need to start reverse engineering my broken part?
Please provide clear photos from multiple angles, available measurements, and any sketches or reference parts. More details help improve CAD accuracy.
Can you recreate a broken part using photos only?
Yes, I can use photos as a reference. However, measurements or additional views may be needed to determine dimensions and achieve a reliable fit.
What types of replacement parts can you model?
I can recreate plastic housings, brackets, clips, knobs, covers, mechanical components, and other replacement parts, depending on their complexity.
Which CAD file formats can you deliver?
I can provide formats such as STEP, STL, and IGES, as well as a native SolidWorks source file when included in your selected package.
Do you provide technical and manufacturing drawings?
Yes. Technical drawings are available with packages that include them and can be prepared based on the available dimensions and design requirements.
Can you make the CAD model ready for 3D printing or manufacturing?
Yes, I can prepare 3D CAD models and export files for 3D printing or manufacturing based on your project requirements. Fit and manufacturability depend on dimensions, tolerances, materials, and design specifications.
Can you modify the model if I need changes?
Yes, I can make revisions according to your selected package. Please provide clear feedback and specific details about the changes needed. Additional work beyond the included revisions may require an extra charge.
