Reverse Engineering

Reverse Engineering Solutions South Africa

When original drawings no longer exist, suppliers have disappeared, or components are no longer manufactured, Bradbri’s reverse engineering service is the solution. Our engineering team uses advanced measurement techniques to accurately capture the dimensions, geometry, and material properties of your existing component — then recreates it to original specification using our precision CNC machining and EDM capabilities.

From legacy mining equipment and obsolete industrial machinery to discontinued military vehicle components, we have successfully reverse engineered and recreated components that clients believed were impossible to replace. No drawing required — just bring us the part.

Frequently Asked Questions

Reverse engineering is the process of recreating an existing component without a drawing. Our engineering team uses precision measurement equipment — micrometers, verniers, dial indicators, and gauge blocks — to accurately capture every dimension and feature of the original part. We then manufacture a new component to those exact captured specifications using our CNC machining and EDM capabilities.

No drawing is required. Simply bring us the original component — or send it to our Boksburg facility — and our engineering team will measure, document, and manufacture a direct replacement to the original specification. No drawing, no problem.

We reverse engineer any component that falls within our CNC machining, CNC turning, or EDM wire cutting capability — including shafts, gears, bushes, housings, brackets, driveline components, steering components, and complex multi-feature parts for defence, mining, industrial, and commercial vehicle applications.

Yes. Where the original component had design weaknesses that caused premature failure or poor performance, we can redesign and optimise the component while maintaining full compatibility with the original application — delivering a better part than the one it replaces.

Lead time depends on the complexity of the component and current workload. Contact us with your component or a description of your requirement and we will provide an accurate lead time with your quotation. We respond to all enquiries within 1 business day.

Yes. Once we have reverse engineered and documented a component, we can manufacture any quantity — from a single replacement to an ongoing batch supply. The captured specification is retained for future production runs, eliminating the need to re-measure on subsequent orders.
