reverse engineering

**We provide reverse engineering services** to **help you understand competitor products or legacy designs** — offering PCB reverse engineering, firmware extraction, mechanical reverse engineering, and competitive analysis with experienced engineers and advanced tools ensuring you can learn from existing products, create compatible designs, or replace obsolete components while respecting intellectual property rights. **Reverse Engineering Services**: PCB reverse engineering ($5K-$30K, extract schematic from PCB), firmware extraction ($10K-$50K, extract and analyze firmware), mechanical reverse engineering ($5K-$25K, create CAD from physical part), competitive analysis ($10K-$40K, analyze competitor products), legacy design recovery ($15K-$60K, recover lost design files). **PCB Reverse Engineering**: X-ray imaging (see internal layers), layer separation (separate PCB layers), trace mapping (map all connections), component identification (identify all components), schematic capture (create schematic), BOM creation (create bill of materials). **Firmware Extraction**: Read firmware (extract from flash or EEPROM), disassembly (convert to assembly code), decompilation (convert to higher-level code if possible), analysis (understand functionality), documentation (document findings). **Mechanical Reverse Engineering**: 3D scanning (laser or structured light), CAD modeling (create 3D CAD model), 2D drawings (create manufacturing drawings), material analysis (identify materials), tolerance analysis (measure dimensions and tolerances). **Applications**: Legacy product support (no longer have design files), competitive analysis (understand competitor products), compatibility (create compatible products), obsolescence (replace obsolete components), improvement (improve existing designs). **Legal Considerations**: Respect IP rights (don't copy patented designs), clean room (separate analysis from design), independent creation (create new design, not copy), fair use (analysis for compatibility or improvement). **Deliverables**: Schematic (complete schematic diagram), BOM (bill of materials with part numbers), PCB layout (recreated layout files), CAD models (3D models), documentation (analysis report, findings). **Typical Timeline**: Simple PCB (2-4 weeks), complex PCB (4-8 weeks), firmware (4-12 weeks), mechanical (2-6 weeks). **Typical Costs**: Simple reverse engineering ($10K-$30K), standard ($30K-$80K), complex ($80K-$200K). **Contact**: [email protected], +1 (408) 555-0520.
