What we do

Industrial spare parts can be expensive, slow to arrive, or difficult to source. Reforge Industries offers manufacturers a cost-effective alternative to traditional OEM suppliers, helping reduce replacement-part costs and lead times.

Our end-to-end service covers the process from identifying costly or hard-to-source components to reverse engineering and manufacturing replacements. We work with you to identify parts across your storerooms and production lines that are expensive to replace or take too long to source. From there, we reverse engineer the original component and manufacture a replacement to specification using industrial additive manufacturing, without requiring existing drawings or CAD files.

Example parts, OEM vs Reforge

OEM spare parts for automation equipment are priced for distribution margins and scheduled around large production runs. Reforge reverse engineers the part and produces it on demand with industrial 3D printing, one order at a time. That removes the markup and the wait for the next production run.

We choose the right process for the job

Every part is inspected for its loads, operating temperatures, chemical exposure and fit before a process is selected. Those requirements determine the process and the material. All parts are produced to that specification within an ISO 9001 certified manufacturing network.
