Why teams in Tulsa choose GDS for reverse engineering
At a glance
Typical experience with missing drawings
- No usable CAD for legacy or obsolete parts
- Guesswork on replacement geometry
- Long lead times sourcing discontinued components
- Rework when recreated parts don't fit
What you get with GDS reverse engineering
- Parametric or surface CAD from the physical part
- Drawings and neutral formats for fabrication
- Design recovery when records are lost
- Geometry validated against the captured asset
Impact for your team and your client
- Faster procurement of replacement parts
- Reduced downtime on critical equipment
- A cleaner basis for redesign and improvement
From part to CAD
We convert physical components and assemblies into parametric or surface models ready for design and fabrication.
Design recovery
Recreate obsolete or undocumented parts and recover lost designs so production and maintenance can continue.
Data that travels well
Deliverables in STEP, IGES, native CAD, and drawings, prepared for your software with clear handoff notes.
A partner in the loop
From scoping through validation we stay available to answer questions and help your team get unstuck fast.
The GDS Guarantee
Every project is covered by the GDS Guarantee for our scanning and modeling deliverables.

Value and benefits
Keep critical assets running
Recreate discontinued parts so aging plant equipment and infrastructure stay serviceable.
Faster procurement
Fabrication-ready geometry and drawings shorten the path from a physical part to a sourced replacement.
A basis for improvement
Clean CAD lets your team redesign, optimize, or adapt components rather than starting from scratch.
Industries we reverse engineer for in Tulsa

What teams say about working with GDS
Frequently asked questions
What can you reverse engineer in Tulsa
Legacy and obsolete components, machinery parts, fixtures, tooling, castings, and assemblies - converted into usable CAD for fabrication, replacement, or redesign.
Can you reverse engineer parts without drawings
Yes. That is the core of reverse engineering - we capture the physical part and deliver parametric or surface CAD with validation. You remain responsible for design approval and engineering sign-off.
Which deliverables do you provide
STEP, IGES, native CAD, STL, OBJ, and 2D drawings, plus neutral formats and handoff notes matched to your software and downstream use.
How do you match the recreated part to the original
Geometry is built from the captured part and checked against it during the process. Tolerances and level of detail are confirmed up front and matched to how the part will be used.
Do you support brownfield and retrofit projects
Yes. Recreating components for industrial retrofits and brownfield modernization is a core focus in Tulsa - we rebuild geometry so procurement and fabrication start from reality.
Can I ship parts to you
Yes. For components that can be safely transported, shipping to GDS is often the most efficient option. Use the "Ship your parts" button above for packing and label instructions.
How fast can you deliver
For qualifying scopes, rush delivery is available in roughly 24 to 72 hours depending on scope, format, and resource availability. Exact timing is confirmed in your written quote.
Will you sign an NDA
Yes. We are NDA-friendly and sign mutual confidentiality agreements for energy, manufacturing, and industrial projects, so sensitive data stays protected.
Do you also scan the parts you reverse engineer
Yes. Capture and modeling are part of the same workflow. See our 3D laser scanning in Tulsa page for capture.
Which industries do you serve in Tulsa
Energy and industrial, aerospace and defense, manufacturing and fabrication, automotive and machinery, infrastructure, and healthcare across Tulsa.
