CNC Repair vs. OEM Replacement: The Faster, Smarter Option for Mixers
When a mixer part fails and you don’t have the original drawings, waiting for OEM replacements can mean weeks of costly downtime. CNC repair with reverse engineering offers a faster, more precise solution.
Why CNC Repair Is Different
CNC machining allows for exact replication of worn or broken parts — even when there’s no CAD file. This means:
Faster turnaround than OEM ordering
Perfect fit and alignment
Consistent quality for future runs
Andy says: “No print? No problem. We can take a worn part, scan it, and have a replacement in your hands in days.”
How Reverse Engineering Works
Inspection – Assess the damaged part to determine feasibility.
Measurement & Modeling – Use precision tools or 3D scanning to capture exact specs.
Manufacturing – Machine from FDA-approved materials.
Finishing – Passivation or electropolishing for food or pharma compliance.
Stocking Spares Before You Need Them
CNC short-run production lets you create a supply of critical parts in advance, reducing downtime during planned or unplanned maintenance.
