Reverse engineering services provided by HAK Metrology Solutions in Austin, TX

Reverse Engineering

When no drawings or CAD files exist, HAK reconstructs the part from scratch. We evaluate each component individually to determine the optimal reverse engineering approach, deploying a range of tools including bridge CMMs, structured light systems, and laser scanners to capture micron-level data across parts large and small. The result is a highly accurate solid CAD model and manufacturing drawing — built to either design intent (best-fit, modifiable) or as-built specifications, depending on your downstream needs. Whether you are replacing an obsolete component, modernising a legacy assembly, or documenting a proprietary part, HAK delivers the digital data you need.

Industries We Serve in the Dallas-Fort Worth Area

The Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex is one of the most industrially diverse regions in the country. HAK Metrology has the expertise, equipment, and track record to serve manufacturers across the sectors that drive the DFW economy. Each industry below presents unique measurement challenges, and we have purpose-built solutions for each one.

Energy & Oil and Gas

Dallas sits at the center of one of the world's most active energy markets. From upstream exploration equipment to midstream pipeline components and downstream processing instrumentation, precision measurement is foundational to safety, performance, and regulatory compliance. HAK's laser tracker technology — with its 160-meter operating range — is ideally suited for the large-format components and pressure-critical assemblies common in the energy sector.

Metrology Services in Dallas — Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer on-site metrology services in Dallas?

Yes. On-site service is one of HAK's core capabilities and a primary reason Dallas manufacturers choose us. Our portable CMM and laser tracker systems are fully field-deployable, meaning our team brings precision measurement directly to your shop floor. On-site metrology eliminates the risk and delay of shipping sensitive parts, keeps your production schedule intact, and gives your team real-time access to inspection data as it is generated.

What industries do you serve in the Dallas-Fort Worth area?

HAK serves manufacturers across a wide range of industries in the DFW area, including energy and oil and gas, aerospace and defense, automotive and transportation, industrial manufacturing, and heavy industry including shipbuilding and satellite applications. Each industry has unique measurement challenges, and HAK customizes its service approach accordingly. If you are unsure whether we serve your specific sector or application, contact us — we likely have relevant experience to share.

How accurate is CMM inspection?

Coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) are among the most accurate dimensional inspection tools available to manufacturers. A high-quality bridge-style CMM, like the one HAK operates, achieves measurement accuracy in the range of microns — making it suitable for the most demanding aerospace, defense, automotive, and energy applications. Accuracy depends on factors including the CMM's calibration status, the measurement environment, the part's geometry, and the expertise of the operator. HAK's technicians are trained to optimize all of these variables.

Why should I outsource dimensional inspection instead of doing it in-house?

Outsourcing dimensional inspection to a specialist like HAK offers several advantages: access to high-accuracy equipment that would be cost-prohibitive to purchase and maintain in-house, ASNT-certified technicians with deep expertise across multiple industries and part types, independent third-party results that carry more weight with customers and auditors, and the ability to scale inspection capacity up or down based on production demand — without the overhead of permanent staff and equipment. For many manufacturers, outsourcing metrology is both a quality improvement and a cost reduction.

How quickly can HAK complete a metrology project in Dallas?

Turnaround time depends on the complexity of the project, the number of parts, and the specific services required. HAK is committed to meeting the production timelines of our Dallas clients, and fast turnaround is a core part of how we operate. For time-sensitive projects — including first article inspections ahead of customer delivery deadlines — we work with your team to prioritize and schedule accordingly. Contact us with your project details and deadline, and we will give you a direct answer on timing.
