Reverse engineering / Low-volume manufacturing

Bring the broken part.
Leave with a route.

ARKAN turns a physical sample, a photo, or a drawing into geometry you can manufacture — then names the process, the material, and the risk before anyone talks price.

Evidence accepted

Physical samples, photos, CAD, and drawings

Project range

One-off parts, prototypes, and repeat small batches

Review approach

Technical route and risk review before production

Project intake

Send the evidence first; ARKAN will identify the next useful step.

Start with the problem

Choose the closest part challenge.

The evidence and operating constraints determine the route more reliably than a process name alone.

No CAD on fileA sample exists, but files do notBroken, obsolete, or undocumented parts need geometry before pricing is useful.Start with reverse engineering and a fit-risk review.Material-criticalThe material behavior mattersHeat, wear, flex, finish, or weight can change the right manufacturing method.Compare composite, polyurethane, additive, and batch paths.Quantity may growOne good part may become a runPrototype decisions should not block repeat orders later.Lock assumptions, validation notes, and production data early.

Manufacturing capability

Geometry, material, and repeatability stay connected.

The route can move from sample evidence to CAD, prototype validation, tooling, or a controlled production batch.

Evidence to CAD

Reverse Engineering

Rebuild usable geometry from broken, unavailable, or undocumented parts.

Review capability

Composite route

Carbon Fiber and Fiberglass

Composite parts and tooling paths for lightweight, rigid, or shaped components.

Review capability
Small-batch polyurethane parts arranged for inspection beside casting equipment

Repeat data

Low-Volume Production

Controlled runs from one part to small batches with repeatable documentation.

Project evidence

See how constraints become a manufacturing route.

Real project paths make the inputs, method choice, validation, and result easier to compare with your own part.

Evidence to production

A short, controlled path.

Validation effort increases only when fit, function, or production risk requires it.

  1. 01

    Send evidence

    Photos, sample, CAD, drawing, quantity, and use context.

  2. 02

    Review the route

    Function, material, fitment, risk, and likely process are checked first.

  3. 03

    Build or quote

    Move into prototype, final part, or repeatable small-batch work.
