OEM support ended
The machine still performs. Its original spare-part supply no longer does.
Reverse engineering for unsupported machinery
The part is obsolete.
Its function isn't.
Mechonus recovers the manufacturing knowledge behind unavailable industrial components—from physical sample to verified, repeatable CNC replacement.

When production depends on one unavailable part
A missing drawing should not decide the future of a working machine.
The real problem is not only sourcing a component. It is rebuilding enough reliable engineering knowledge to manufacture, inspect and order that component again.
No usable drawing
You have a physical sample, old assembly or partial dimensions—but no production definition.
The sample is worn
Copying its visible geometry would reproduce years of wear, damage or deformation.
Volume is too low
You need one critical replacement or a controlled small batch, not mass-production tooling.
The Mechonus recovery chain
From surviving evidence to repeatable supply.
One connected engineering workflow turns an uncertain physical sample into an approved digital definition and a verified replacement part.
01Sample
We begin with the part, its assembly, operating duty and failure history.
02Capture
3D scanning, CMM and targeted metrology establish what can be known.
03Recover
Parametric CAD, datums, fits and tolerances restore manufacturing intent.
04Replace
CNC manufacturing and inspection turn the recovered definition into a repeatable part.
Engineering principleDo not copy the damage.
Recover the intent.
Recover the intent.
Where engineering judgment matters
A scanner records shape. An engineer decides what the shape means.
A worn sample contains both useful evidence and misleading geometry. Our role is to distinguish the two before the first toolpath is written.
Wear or intent?
We separate service damage from the geometry the part was originally designed to have.
Copy or improve?
We identify where exact replication is essential and where a controlled revision reduces future risk.
What actually matters?
Fits, datums, sealing faces and functional interfaces receive control before cosmetic geometry.
Recovery story
The proof is in what becomes knowable.

Confidence needs evidence
Not just a part that looks right. A result you can approve.
Inspection strategy, revision control and documented engineering decisions create a replacement that can be understood, verified and reordered.
Design review before release
Models, drawings, assumptions and critical features are confirmed before manufacturing begins.
Critical-feature inspection
Fits, datums and functional geometry are verified using suitable CMM, optical or manual methods.
Reusable production baseline
The approved CAD, drawing and process record become controlled knowledge for future orders.
Production resources, applicable quality systems and documentation scope are confirmed according to each project before order placement.
CUSTOMER PERSPECTIVE
WHAT ENGINEERING CLARITY CHANGES.
Across marine & energy, heavy equipment, medical, and semiconductor projects, clients consistently highlight the same things: engineering-led communication, design intent recovery rather than simple copying, full documentation, and bilingual support that eliminates information loss. As one client put it: "They don't just machine—they solve."
The team didn't just copy the worn part—they recovered the original bearing fit and gave us a drawing we can reuse for future maintenance. That's real engineering.
Communication was engineering-led from day one. Every assumption was documented before machining, which made our internal approval process much smoother.
We needed a small batch, not a tooling program. The first article fit perfectly, and the inspection report made the repeat order a formality.
Material selection and corrosion resistance were reviewed before the quote. That gave us confidence the replacement was designed for the real operating conditions.
We had a discontinued surgical instrument component with no drawings. Mechonus scanned it, rebuilt the CAD, and delivered functional prototypes in days. The dimensional report was flawless.
What impressed me most was the documentation. From scan data to CMM report, everything was traceable. Our internal audit passed without a single question.
