Reverse Engineering – PC Boards
Ironically, many companies come to us not to reverse engineer a competitors product, but to reverse engineer their own designs, because they have poor or no documentation on their product, because their contract manufacturers refuses to release it, or because they have lost a key employee or very old legacy product without documentation.
If you have lost the design data of your legacy product, we can reverse engineer it from pictures, print-outs of the pc boards or scan copy of schematic or gerbers plots. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel again.
Reasons for reverse engineering a product:
- Manufacturer of a product no longer exists or produces a product
- Documentation of the original design is lost or inadequate
- To update obsolete components with current technology
- Determine product interoperability
- Create better designs
- Determine Patent infringement claims
- Determine if competition has copied a product
I can provide the following:
- Documentation of the existing or obsolete products
- Re-Develop existing products
- Obsolete parts replacement
- Schematic CAD generation from existing products
- Printed Circuit artwork generation from existing products
- Re-capture of lost PCB layouts
- Transfer paper documentation into CAD drawings
