3D scanning workflow for a turbomachinery part

Reverse engineering / Non-OEM / Europe-wide

Reverse engineering & turbine spare parts manufacturing

Replace obsolete or unavailable components with high-quality OEM-alternative parts. Fast turnaround, lifecycle extension and a cost-effective alternative to waiting on the OEM.

Reverse engineering

From an existing part to a better one.

A structured engineering workflow, from 3D scan and metallurgical analysis to production-ready drawings and manufactured spares.

Process: from scan to production

A repeatable engineering process that turns an existing component into a manufacturable part, with materials and tolerances documented.

  • High-precision 3D scanning and dimensional measurement
  • CAD modelling and 2D production drawings
  • Metallurgical testing and spectrometry
  • Design optimisation where appropriate

Spare-parts manufacturing

We engineer redesigned components, not literal copies. The original is a starting point, not the ceiling.

  • Steam-turbine components
  • Compressor and expander parts
  • Rotor and impeller capital spares
  • Bearings and sealing systems: dry-gas, labyrinth, abradable, journal, thrust, tilting-pad
  • Pinion shafts and blades

Engineering optimisation

Solve the root cause, not the symptom. Rotor vibration, imbalance and design limitations are engineered out in the new revision.

  • Rotordynamic simulations
  • Vibration analysis
  • Hydrodynamic and hydrostatic bearing calculations

Independent

Independent by design, for legacy equipment.

Shorter delivery times, lower cost, design and material flexibility, with support for legacy installations that the OEM no longer services.

Applications

Applied across industries.

From a single replacement blade to a complete capital spare. Energetic engineers parts for the industries where downtime is most expensive.

  • Power generation
  • Oil and gas
  • Petrochemical
  • Heavy industry
  • Pulp and paper
  • Sugar

Fast turnaround

Minimise downtime, from scan to production.

We mobilise scanning and metallurgy in days, deliver drawings in days more and start manufacturing while the part is still being qualified. Speed without sacrificing engineering rigour.

FAQ

Straight answers.

Have a specific case? Ask our engineers.

It is the process of measuring an existing component, creating engineering documentation for it and then manufacturing it again, optionally with design improvements. No original drawings needed.

Yes. That is the most common reason customers come to us. We rebuild parts the OEM no longer supports, often with improved materials or geometry.

Shorter delivery times, lower cost and design flexibility. We can also engineer out a known weakness instead of replicating it.

Tolerances follow the original specification or tighter, validated by dimensional inspection, metallurgical testing and, where relevant, rotordynamic simulation.

Power generation, oil and gas, petrochemical, pulp and paper, sugar and heavy industry. From a single component to a complete assembly.
