Extending product life
Reverse Engineering is a service we provide to help improve your product quality. When you have the product you want but don't have control of the manufacturing data, it is possible for 3Minds to reverse engineer one or all of the components.
It is usually possible to regenerate the necessary files from a sample PCB or mechanical component. We can then help source a quality supplier to provide you with a component that will fit into your existing design.
It is important to note however, 3Minds Limited requires that the client puts in writing their legal right to reproduce an existing design.
Design obsolescence
It's a fact that the Electronics Industry is often faced with the problem of design obsolescence and most companies are likely to be affected at some time. In many cases an alternative component will exist, simply requiring vetting by an experienced engineer.
Obsolescence, will generally only affect mature products, and therefore is first faced by your purchasing team. The engineers involved with the initial design will have moved on to something else or may even have left your company.
3Minds can offer an experienced and flexible resource, always able to discuss your problems quickly, enabling you to get on with your normal activities.
