Obsolete-part digitisation
Geometry capture, CAD reconstruction and fit study for parts with missing drawings, subject to functional assessment.

AND MACHINES.
MOVING.
Machines are designed around the realities of an individual factory. When a component no longer exists on a shelf or an assembly process is inefficient, the answer may be digital reconstruction, a redesigned fixture or a newly manufactured interface. AMLAB supports the engineering assessment needed to choose the next step.

TURN COMPLEXITY
INTO A WORKABLE PART.
For plant managers, maintenance teams, machinery builders and industrial purchasing.
We begin with the functional requirement and choose a design and manufacturing route only after understanding what must be proven.

WHERE WE CAN
ADD VALUE.
Application examples to start a technical conversation — not a portfolio of completed contracts.
Custom guards & covers
Development models for protective covers, housings and service panels with access and mounting considered.
Changeover tooling
Nests, spacers and positioning aids for adapting lines to changing product geometries.
Functional prototypes
Early-stage functional pieces to validate a mechanism, assembly interface or handling method.
03 / DESIGN DECISIONS THAT MATTERDESIGN INPUTS
THE DETAILS
CHANGE
EVERYTHING.
These are the questions we bring to the table before recommending a process.
Discuss a project ↗Duty cycle
Loads, wear, temperature, chemicals and inspection intervals.
Original function
Understand what the old part does before substituting process or material.
Fit data
Scan accessibility, reference dimensions, tolerances and mating parts.
Responsibility
Machine safety, IP permissions and any required requalification assessed explicitly.
04 / PROCESS OPTIONSPROCESS AWARE
NOT EVERY PART
NEEDS THE SAME PROCESS.
Processes below are starting options, not promises of in-house machine availability.
3D Scanning
Shape capture for CAD restoration and dimensional understanding.
FDM / FFF
Fast fit prototypes and industrial aids.
CNC
Mechanical interfaces demanding machining.

IMAGINE THE BRIEFFROM THE QUESTION
FROM THE QUESTION
TO THE FIRST PROTOTYPE.
A line relies on an ageing non-critical positioning insert with no CAD file. We document the function, scan or measure the existing geometry, reconstruct a parametric model and prototype the mating fit before discussing final material and production.

↗ Replacement applications require machine-level safety, fit and intellectual-property review.
06 / FAQQUESTIONS WE OFTEN EXPLORE
BEFORE WE
GET STARTED.
01Can you reproduce any industrial spare part?＋
No. Material properties, machine safety, availability of reference data and legal rights determine feasibility.
02What if no drawing exists?＋
Geometry may be measured or scanned and rebuilt as CAD, with additional work to recover function and tolerances.
03Can you improve an existing fixture?＋
Yes, we can review the operating problem and propose a prototype iteration with clear success criteria.
