No Print? No Problem – How Truco Reverse Engineers Precision Parts

When a machine goes down and you do not have a drawing for the part you need, what do you do? For many food and pharmaceutical manufacturers, that is when they call Truco.

We specialize in getting critical operations running again — even when no print exists.

Why “No Print” Happens

In manufacturing plants, it is common to have aging equipment without up-to-date documentation. OEMs often refuse to share prints, or only sell full kits at outrageous prices.

“We get parts all the time where the customer has no drawing. It’s just a broken part or a worn-out one, and they need it back fast.”

How Truco Does It

We’ve built our reputation by solving the toughest problems. Our preferred process is simple: send us the last known good part.

“We prefer if they send us the last known good part. We’ll measure it, scan it if needed, and create the replacement to spec.”

When necessary, we can even reverse engineer from a worn or broken part — though we always aim for accuracy by starting with the best sample available.

We use advanced tools, like our GOM 3D scanner, to capture precise dimensions. And we rely on our machinist expertise to ensure the new part fits and functions exactly as needed.

“Mike’s a perfectionist — he’s going to have questions about the fit and function when he sees the part. That’s what ensures it works as well as or better than OEM.”

Why It Matters

Downtime costs money. OEM lead times can be six to ten weeks. And many shops will not even look at your job without a drawing.

“Most shops won’t even touch a job without a print — but that’s where we shine.”

One of our customers avoided paying $150,000 for an OEM replacement kit — we reverse engineered just the part they needed for $1,100.
