HOME  /  INDUSTRIES  /  Legacy OEM Re-engineering

The original supplier closed.
We can keep your equipment alive.

If you maintain industrial, agricultural, military, or aviation equipment that's still in
service after the OEM has gone dark — or after the part went end-of-life — we can
reverse-engineer, re-tool, and re-mold the component to your original spec or
improved.

01What we do

From a sample on your desk to parts 

on your dock.

01

Reverse-engineer from a sample, drawing, or 3D scan

Send us what you have. A working part. A broken part. A grease-stained drawing from 1978. We'll capture the geometry and recreate a manufacturable design.

02

Build new tooling sized to your actual annual volume

The original tool was built for 50,000 units a year. You need 500. We design tooling appropriate to your real volume — not the volume the original OEM was chasing.

03

Substitute upgraded resins where needed

The original material may be obsolete, restricted, or simply outclassed by what's available now. Our engineers identify drop-in replacements and document the substitution.

04

Run small-batch production for fleet maintenance, MRO, or end-of-life inventory

Annual runs from a few hundred to several thousand units. Stocking programs available — we hold inventory, you draw it down.

02Common scenarios

If any of these sound familiar, we 

should talk.

— 01

Out-of-production housings

Industrial machinery still in service after the OEM dropped the part. We re-tool and produce in batches sized to your fleet maintenance plan.

— 02

Discontinued covers and trim

Legacy fleet vehicles — agricultural, military, or commercial — where cosmetic and structural parts are no longer available. Reverse-engineer once, run as needed.

— 03

Replacement components for long-life military equipment

Equipment in 30-year service intervals where the supply chain has moved on but the equipment hasn't. ITAR-screened intake on every defense quote.

— 04

Low-MOQ parts the original supplier won't run

The OEM required a 10,000-unit minimum. You need 250. We're built for the run sizes nobody else wants.

03Documentation

What you'll get with the parts.

─ Reverse-engineered 3D CAD model in your preferred format (STEP, IGES, native)
─ Material substitution rationale, where applicable
─ Dimensional inspection report on first article
─ Retained samples archived indefinitely
─ Tooling drawings in our custody, your IP
─ Documented process parameters for repeatable runs

Have a part we can't get
anymore?

Mail us a sample. Send a photo. Pull the worst one out of inventory and
ship it to Randolph. We'll figure out what to do with it.

Engineer-led custom injection molding in the heart of America. Since 1965.
