Reverse Engineering from a Screw Element Sample
2018-04-25
Application
Aftermarket replacement for discontinued or difficult-to-source components.
Customer Challenge
The customer had a worn screw element but did not have the original CAD drawing. The customer needed a replacement component with matching dimensions and spline configuration.
CONLIN Solution
The customer provided the physical sample. CONLIN measured the key dimensions, analyzed the geometry, and confirmed the material and manufacturing requirements before producing the replacement component.
Manufacturing Focus
- Sample measurement
- Geometry analysis
- Dimensional reconstruction
- Material evaluation
- CNC machining
Result
CONLIN provided a practical replacement solution based on the customer's physical sample, helping the customer source a difficult-to-find extruder component.
