Reverse Engineering Through 3D Printing in Arizona

  • Jan 16
  • 2 min read

When a critical part breaks and replacements no longer exist, reverse engineering is often the only way forward. From automotive and industrial equipment to research labs and consumer products, obsolete components can bring projects—and entire operations—to a halt. As original tooling disappears and suppliers move on, more organizations are turning to additive manufacturing to quickly recreate the parts they need and get back to work.

Additive manufacturing (3D Printing) enables legacy part recreation by allowing low-volume, highly customized production without the need for tooling. Technologies such as FDM, SLA, and SLS each play a role depending on the application, mechanical requirements, and surface finish needs. Selecting the appropriate process is essential to achieving a part that performs reliably in real-world conditions.


Reverse-engineered additive manufacturing solutions are commonly used for:

  • Discontinued or obsolete replacement parts

  • Functional prototypes for research and testing

  • Low-volume production components

  • Custom housings, fixtures, and mechanical interfaces



At Marinella Research, we specialize in reverse engineering physical components into a digital SolidWorks 3D CAD file and engineering drawing (if required).  We can then physically reproduce the part for your from additive manufacturing or CNC technologies.


Our approach emphasizes accuracy, validation, and performance. Each project is evaluated to ensure the final part meets dimensional, mechanical, and application-specific needs—reducing risk and shortening time to deployment.

Customer commissioned reverse engineering project. For as low as $270, we reverse engineered the original part and delivered a fully functional printed replacement.
