Reverse Engineering

The Process

1. After identifying an OEM part as obsolete AP Services can supply a reverse engineered replacement part.

   

2. AP Services uses on of its three state-of-the-art mobile scanning units to create an electronic replica of the gasket.

   

3. Dimentional, material and other survey information are uploaded into the AP Services web catalog for future reference.

   

4. Using the 2D scan, an AP Services’ technician creates a CAD Drawing to be sent to one of AP’s three high-powered WaterJet cutting machines.

   

5. The CAD drawing is sent electronically for upload into the WaterJet computer database…

   

6. And a dimensionally identical gasket is created.
