Research the equipment
We use the manufacturer, model, serial number and part markings to investigate available manuals, drawings, parts catalogs and service documentation.
PORTOLA · CUSTOM INDUSTRIAL PARTS
Custom metal parts and fixtures for jobs that machine shops and fabrication shops often pass over. We research your machine, reverse engineer the part and fabricate it to an agreed specification—then ship it directly to your factory.
Warranty ended. Service discontinued. Replacement no longer made.
A discontinued part. A small batch. A fixture without a drawing. We focus on the work that can be hard to place with a conventional machine shop or fabrication shop.
↗01 / OUR PURPOSE & MISSION
Our focus is custom metal parts, fixtures and components that are difficult to source: one-off replacements, small batches, unusual modifications and legacy parts that other shops may decline.
An expired warranty, discontinued service or an obsolete part can leave useful machinery without a practical source of replacements. We research the equipment and available records to develop a replacement around the part’s function, dimensions and connections.
02 / RESEARCH & REVERSE ENGINEERING
When the original part is no longer manufactured or service support has ended, we investigate the machine and how the part works before developing its replacement.
We use the manufacturer, model, serial number and part markings to investigate available manuals, drawings, parts catalogs and service documentation.
We compare those records with your photos, samples, installation details and measurements to develop the geometry and identify the critical mating features.
We resolve gaps with you and check dimensions, materials, fits and operating requirements against the available evidence before fabrication.
03 / WHAT WE WORK ON
Start with the component, the machine or the application. Each job is reviewed individually to establish the design, production route and quote.
Shafts, bushings, brackets, covers and housings for machinery with discontinued parts or service support.
Explore capability →Fixtures, adapters, guards and purpose-built components for custom, modified and ad hoc machinery.
Explore capability →Evaluate reusable molds and tooling for suitable components, repeat orders and future batches.
Explore capability →05 / FROM REQUEST TO YOUR FACTORY
Send the details. We reverse engineer and define the part, fabricate it to the approved specification, and ship it directly to you. Every job receives its own quote.
Tell us which parts you need, what they do and how many you want. Share machine information, photos, drawings, measurements or CAD.
We research the machine and its documentation, reconstruct the part from drawings, samples and measurements, and verify its geometry and interfaces. Review the specification and individual quote before production.
We fabricate the approved parts to the agreed dimensions, materials, finishes and inspection requirements. Custom fixtures and new components follow the same review process.
We check the agreed requirements and ship the finished parts directly to your factory or facility, ready for your receiving and installation process.
