Sample Replication & Reverse Engineering

From a Single Sample to Scalable Production

Send us a physical sample. We measure, scan, analyze and rebuild it into a production-ready silicone part - faster, better, and tailored to your brand. +/-0.1mm Precision - Full Material Analysis - NDA Protected

01

Physical Sample Receiving

Once your sample arrives at our Guangdong facility, it enters a traceable workflow. Every item is logged, photographed, and tagged under your project code - handled only by authorized engineers.

  • Signed receipt confirmation within 24 hours
  • Visual inspection report with high-resolution photography
  • Secure, dedicated sample storage with limited access
  • Returnable upon project completion

Dimensional Scanning & Structural Measurement

We use industrial-grade 3D scanners and precision instruments (CMM, calipers, profile projectors) to capture every curve, wall thickness, and tolerance of your sample - generating accurate point clouds within +/-0.05mm.

03

Material Hardness & Performance Analysis

We identify the exact silicone grade, hardness, tensile strength and additives used in your sample - ensuring the replica performs identically or better.

Shore A/D Hardness

Durometer readings across multiple points

Tensile & Tear

Elongation, break strength, tear resistance

Chemical Composition

FTIR/DSC to identify silicone type (HCR/LSR)

Compliance Check

FDA, LFGB, RoHS, REACH verification

04

3D Model Reconstruction

Our CAD engineers convert raw scan data into clean, parametric 3D models using SolidWorks and UG. The model becomes the foundation for mold design, DFM review and future revisions.

  • Parametric & editable CAD files (STEP/IGES)
  • Draft angle & parting line optimization
  • DFM feedback before tooling begins

Original Product Issue & Improvement Review

We don't just copy - we critique. Our engineers evaluate your original sample for weak points, failure risks, and manufacturability issues, then propose practical upgrades that make your product measurably better.

! Weak Point Detection

Identify stress zones, thin walls, and fatigue-prone areas.

+ Toughness Upgrade

Our proprietary blend improves tear resistance by up to 45%.

~ Cost & Cycle Optimization

Reduce material waste and shorten production cycles.

06

Sample Replication & Assembly Validation

First-article samples are produced on real tooling, then measured, assembled and function-tested against the original.

Step 1

Pilot Mold

Rapid aluminum tooling for the first replica batch - fast and verifiable.

Step 2

Dimensional Audit

Full inspection against the CAD model - tolerances within +/-0.1mm.

Step 3

Assembly Test

Fit, function and endurance validation against the original sample.

Exclusive Version & Differentiation Design

Turn a generic reference into a product that belongs to you. We help you add signature elements - unique colors, logo embossing, surface finishes, or structural tweaks - so your replica is legally and visually distinct.

08

IP Confirmation & Confidentiality

We take intellectual property seriously. Before any work begins, we confirm ownership rights and sign a mutual NDA to protect your project.

IP Ownership Verification

We require written confirmation that you hold the rights (or distribution rights) to the sample. We refuse projects involving active third-party patents.

Mutual NDA Signed

All drawings, molds, prototypes and production records are confidential. Molds and tooling remain your exclusive property.
