Reverse Engineering of Existing Tooling

Unlock Performance and Extend Tooling Life

Reverse engineering allows you to reproduce essential tooling when original drawings, specs, or OEM support are unavailable. Colonial Tool combines decades of machining experience with the latest 3D scanning and modeling technologies to deliver high-accuracy replicas that meet or exceed the performance of the original tool. 

Reverse Engineering Services Typically Include:

• Tool Analysis & Disassembly – Inspection of wear patterns, materials, and tolerances.
• Dimensional Scanning & Measurement – High-precision CMM or laser scanning for geometry capture.
• Material & Coating Identification – Analysis to match the original tool's durability and performance.
• CAD Model Creation – Generating detailed 3D models and engineering drawings for remanufacture.
• Tool Manufacturing or Modification – Producing exact or improved versions of the original tooling.
• Performance Testing & Validation – Verifying fit, function, and performance through in-house testing.
