A CNC cold press machine reverse engineered for an Israeli client using only photographs and reference mapping. The final design delivered accurate CAD models and engineering documentation that impressed the client and enabled further manufacturing steps.
The CNC Cold Press project required reverse engineering a complex press machine for an Israeli client using only a set of photographs and limited secondary references. The goal was to produce an accurate CAD model suitable for manufacturing, strength analysis and parts procurement.
We used photogrammetry, dimensional extrapolation and reference mapping to derive key dimensions and assembly relationships. Critical load-bearing elements were modelled first and verified with structural assumptions; moving subassemblies (slides, presses, guideways) were recreated with attention to tolerances, clearances and lubricant paths. Design documentation included exploded assemblies, BOMs, critical tolerances and inspection points so the client could confidently move to manufacture or refurbishment.
The resulting models and documentation enabled the client to source parts, evaluate structural upgrades, and plan maintenance without requiring full OEM data. The high level of detail in the deliverables reduced ambiguity in procurement and accelerated the client’s decision cycle for refurbishment and retrofitting options.
