Selecting the Right Reverse Engineering Provider

Whether you are outsourcing or purchasing equipment to reverse engineer in-house, you want to be sure that you are working with a qualified provider that can guide you through the entire process. The ideal solution is a company that both sells equipment and provides outsourced reverse engineering services.

Outsourcing Reverse Engineering Services

Outsourcing is a good idea when you have multiple types of parts to reverse engineer, operate with a limited budget, need fast turnaround, and do not have in-house expertise.

When selecting a reverse engineering service provider, look for the following qualities:

• Certifications and accreditation – Look for a lab certified to ISO 9001, and has ISO 17025 accreditation.
• Expertise – Provider should have a long history in reverse engineering and dimensional measurement.
• Diversity – A good provider will have worked with a broad range of industries and have experience with multiple applications.
• Technology – Look for a service provider that offers a spectrum of measurement devices to address various applications.

Remember that reverse engineering should be a collaborative process with your provider. The more information a provider knows about your application and goals for reverse engineering, the better service it can provide.
