01 / THE PROCESS
Your old part.
A new lease of life.
One local point of contact, from the first conversation to your replacement part.
We recreate
We measure your part and recreate it in CAD, considering its dimensions, fit and intended use.
We print
Once the design, material and quote are agreed, your replacement is produced using 3D printing.
We return
Your finished part is brought back to you, with the delivery timing agreed for your job.
02 / THE RIGHT PART FOR THE JOB
Hard to source?
Start with what
you have.
A worn component. A broken fitting. A part that’s no longer available. Your original can be the starting point for a practical replacement.
Every job starts with a suitability check. The material, operating conditions and function of your part determine what’s possible.
Knobs, handles & controls
Replacement hand knobs, adjustment handles and similar fittings, recreated around the dimensions of your original.
Examples to discussSpacers, guides & bushes
Custom spacers, positioning guides and bushes where the application and material are suitable for a printed replacement.
Fit & operating conditions assessedCovers, caps & housings
Non-safety-critical covers, protective caps and small housings shaped around your machine’s existing fittings.
Made from your original or dimensionsGears & bespoke components
Small gears and unusual components can be assessed case by case. Loads, heat, wear and the part’s function all matter.

A SHORTER ROUTE TO YOUR REPLACEMENT
Keep the job local.
Keep things moving.
When an overseas lead time or an unavailable spare holds up a machine, it helps to have another option closer to home.
Davidson CAD Works brings collection, CAD recreation and 3D printing together in one local service. We’ll discuss what’s possible and agree a realistic timeframe before work begins.
04 / A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS
Before we get started.
How quickly can I get a replacement?
Timing depends on the condition and complexity of your part, the design work and the printing requirements. Tell us when you need it and we’ll confirm a realistic timeframe with your quote.
Can you work from a broken part?
A damaged original can still be a useful starting point. Keep any broken pieces and send photos of the part and where it fits. We’ll assess whether there’s enough information to recreate it.
Can any machine part be 3D printed?
Not every application is suitable. We need to understand how the part is used, including heat, load, wear and exposure to chemicals. Safety-critical applications need specialist assessment and may be outside the service.
What does it cost?
Each job is quoted individually, based on the design work, material, quantity and collection or delivery arrangements. Send photos, rough dimensions and your location to get the conversation started.
Do I need a CAD file?
No. Recreating your existing part in CAD is part of the service. If you already have a drawing or CAD file, mention it in your enquiry.
