What if the part I need to copy is broken in several pieces?

As long as the pieces fit back together to confirm the overall shape and key dimensions, we can usually still copy it. Bring all the fragments in and we will reconstruct the dimensions. If a section is missing entirely, photos of the same part in another machine or any service drawings will help us fill the gap.

Will the replicated part be made from the same plastic?

We aim to match the original material because that is how the part was engineered to perform. Where the original material has known weaknesses (early polycarbonate that crazes, or nylon that has gone brittle) we will suggest an upgrade to a tougher modern grade and explain the trade-offs.

How much does part replication typically cost?

A simple flat plate or bushing can be very affordable. Complex parts with multiple operations and tight tolerances cost more because of the programming and machining time. We will give you a fixed quote after looking at the part.
