Reverse engineering and new remanufacturing services

A project co-financed by European Funds under the Lubelskie Regional Operational Programme 2014–2020.

Project title

„Increasing the competitiveness of REAM POLAND through the implementation of an innovative reverse-engineering method and the launch of new flexible services for remanufacturing wind-turbine components and turbocharger parts for the automotive and aviation industries”

About the project

The project took us beyond classic turbocharger remanufacturing. We implemented an innovative reverse-engineering method: the part is measured and scanned, a CAD model and CAM machining programme are created from the data, and the finished part is produced on a CNC machining centre.

This allows us to recreate and remanufacture components that cannot be bought or have long lead times – for the automotive, aviation and wind-energy industries. The new, flexible services cut the lead time for wind-turbine parts to 5 working days from receipt of the order.

We use the project results every day, including in the production of billet compressor wheels and hybrid turbochargers.

Project objectives

  • increasing competitiveness through an innovative reverse-engineering method
  • increasing competitiveness through new flexible turbocharger remanufacturing services

Expected results

  • remanufacturing of parts for the aviation and automotive industries using reverse engineering
  • remanufacturing and production of wind-turbine parts available within 5 working days of the order
