What Is Reverse Engineering in Manufacturing and Design?
When we were talking to an engineer at a trade show in Houston last year, one of those conversations that just sticks with us. He pulled out this worn-out industrial bracket, something that had been running a production line for over two decades. No drawings. No digital files. The original manufacturer? Gone. And he needed 200 of them fast.

what teams should use cnc programming tools
We have spoken with several engineers and floor managers, and we know this is happening globally. Having invested in CNC programming tools , the software remains partly oriented on one of the team members’ workstations, and the team is still performing half of it manually for 6 months. It’s not a tool problem! It is an issue of ‘team fit’.
