Reverse Engineering Services - Optmising existing Designs
Making existing mechanical & automotive designs stronger, durable or lighterDesign Optimisation Through Reverse Engineering – Enhance Performance Without Redesigning from Scratch
Design optimisation via reverse engineering enables the analysis, improvement, and refinement of existing components—mechanical or automotive—without needing original design files. At Restoric®, we use precise 3D scanning, FARO arm measurements, and professional CAD modelling tools such as SolidWorks to digitally recreate components for detailed evaluation and enhancement. This process allows us to improve strength, reduce weight, simplify manufacturing, or adapt parts for modern materials—while preserving the original function and fit.
This service is ideal for both heritage automotive components and mechanical industry parts, such as engine brackets, mounting plates, gearbox housings, linkages, or other custom-fabricated items. Whether the goal is to correct weaknesses in the original design or improve compatibility with contemporary manufacturing techniques like CNC machining or 3D printing, Restoric® delivers optimised CAD models in formats including STEP, IGES, or STL. From vintage car parts to industrial assemblies, reverse engineering provides a practical, cost-effective path to smarter, stronger components.
How Restoric® Optimises Mechanical and Automotive Parts – A Precision-Guided Process
At Restoric®, part optimisation begins with a detailed consultation to understand the client’s goals—whether it’s improving durability, reducing weight, simplifying manufacturing, or adapting a part for modern processes. We combine this feedback with a thorough assessment of the existing component, using 3D scanning, FARO arm measurement, and visual inspection to capture key geometries and identify areas for improvement. Our team then leverages decades of hands-on experience in restoration and mechanical engineering to evaluate design limitations, stress points, material selection, and tolerances that may be affecting performance or longevity.
Using professional CAD tools such as SolidWorks, we develop enhanced 3D models that maintain the original fit and function but incorporate mechanical improvements. This might include reinforcing weak areas, simplifying complex features for machining, updating tolerances, or adapting parts for CNC machining, casting, or 3D printing. Each design is reviewed in close collaboration with the client, ensuring final solutions meet real-world needs while staying true to the application—be it a classic car engine mount or an industrial bracket. The result is a fully optimised, production-ready part delivered in formats such as STEP, IGES, or STL, ready for manufacturing.

Unlock the potential of your product today Get in touch todayMechanical Part Optimisation – Enhance Performance, Reduce Waste
At Restoric®, we offer mechanical part optimisation services that improve the performance, durability, and manufacturability of existing components. Whether you’re working from legacy designs or physical samples, our engineering team uses advanced CAD modelling, finite element analysis (FEA), and design for manufacturing (DFM) techniques to rework parts for modern production. In the manufacturing industry, this could mean lightweighting a steel bracket for robotic assembly lines, increasing the strength of a high-load shaft, or redesigning a die-cast housing to reduce porosity and material use—all without compromising on fit or function.
Optimised components can lead to cost savings, faster production, improved lifecycle performance, and better integration with contemporary materials and methods such as additive manufacturing or CNC machining. Restoric® delivers updated CAD models in industry-standard formats like STEP, IGES, or STL, ready for prototyping, simulation, or full-scale manufacturing. Whether you’re upgrading tooling components, reengineering a mechanical assembly, or modernising spare parts for legacy equipment, our part optimisation service helps manufacturers stay competitive, efficient, and future-ready.
Automotive Part Optimisation – Strengthen, Lighten, and Future-Proof Your Components
At Restoric®, we specialise in optimising automotive parts to enhance strength, reduce weight, and improve manufacturability—whether for modern vehicles or historically significant classics. By using advanced CAD modelling, finite element analysis (FEA), and design for manufacturing (DFM) principles, we can refine existing components while maintaining dimensional and visual authenticity. For example, we might re-engineer a vintage suspension arm to eliminate stress points, lightweight a period-correct bracket using modern alloys, or strengthen a classic gearbox housing to meet current performance needs—all without compromising historical integrity.
This optimisation process is especially valuable in veteran, Edwardian, vintage, and classic cars, where original parts may have been under-designed by today’s standards or subject to material limitations of their time. Updated components can be manufactured using CNC machining, casting, or 3D printing, with CAD files delivered in formats such as STEP, IGES, or STL. Whether you’re building a stronger engine mount for a pre-war racer or improving cooling flow in a mid-century intake manifold, Restoric® ensures every part performs reliably while preserving the character of your vehicle.

How can reverse engineering help optimise legacy or discontinued car parts?
Reverse engineering allows manufacturers to reproduce or improve outdated components without original CAD files. It ensures compatibility with modern materials and manufacturing methods, enhancing part reliability and extending vehicle life.
What are the advantages of reverse engineering for OEM and aftermarket parts?
Reverse engineering delivers accurate digital models for both OEM and aftermarket automotive components. It supports faster prototyping, lower production costs, better fit and function, and more effective product lifecycle management.
What technologies are used in reverse engineering automotive components?
Technologies such as 3D scanning, CT scanning, CAD modelling, and simulation software are commonly used. These tools capture complex geometries and enable engineers to simulate real-world conditions, allowing for optimised part design.
Is reverse engineering cost-effective for low-volume automotive manufacturing?
Yes, reverse engineering is well-suited to low-volume or bespoke production. It reduces tooling expenses, shortens development time, and enables rapid iterations—ideal for classic car restoration or specialised component production.
