Reverse Engineering Services
Impulse Product Development offers customized reverse engineering services. Our engineers have years of experience analyzing and designing products, parts and assemblies from simple to complex. Reverse engineering a product is an efficient and cost-effective way to apply for and protect patents, design future product upgrades, find ways to lower production costs or improve product performance or comply with third-party audits.
Our product development experts leverage years of industry experience, access to sophisticated computer-aided design (CAD) technologies, coordinate measuring machines (CMM), laser scanners, and cutting-edge production facilities to provide reverse engineering. As part of this service, we can provide documentation, design specifications, materials analysis, cost projections and prototyping. Common reasons for reverse engineering include:
- Discover, document and plan for interoperability issues among and between parts and assemblies
- Document technical specifications for legal protection and future production
- Product analysis to reduce costs, improve performance and increase competitive advantage
- Create computer-aided design (CAD) of an existing product to assist in next-generation changes and upgrades
- Upgrade existing components and assemblies into current 3D CAD technology for future downstream use (i.e. next-generation designs, prototyping, and production)
- Recapture lost or outdated drawings and data
- Capture 3D, hand-sculpted models into 3D CAD technology for downstream use (i.e. further CAD design and data manipulation, prototyping, and production)
