Custom Machine Parts & Industrial 3D Printing in Montreal.
3DRM Tech helps manufacturers, machine builders, maintenance teams and industrial facilities create custom machine components, replacement parts, jigs, fixtures, guards, tooling and low-volume production parts using 3D printing, CAD, scanning, CNC machining and digital manufacturing.
When a machine needs a part that no catalogue can supply.
Factories and industrial equipment often contain specialized components that were designed around one machine, one production line or one process. When those parts break, wear out or need improvement, replacing them with generic hardware may not be possible.
3DRM Tech can help manufacturers move from an existing part, drawing or idea into a manufacturable component using 3D scanning and reverse engineering, CAD design, FDM, SLS and SLA 3D printing, CNC machining and metalworking and low-volume manufacturing.
For urgent development or equipment-improvement projects, rapid prototyping can also shorten the path from design change to physical testing.
Custom components for machinery, production lines and factory-floor operations.
The correct manufacturing route depends on the part's geometry, material, loading, environment, quantity and required interfaces.
Replacement Machine Parts
Custom replacements for obsolete, damaged or difficult-to-source components when original parts or drawings are unavailable.
Jigs & Fixtures
Assembly jigs, drilling guides, inspection fixtures, locating tools and other production aids built around your workflow.
Part Nests & Holders
Custom nests and holders for locating, positioning, protecting or presenting parts during production.
Guides & Changeover Parts
Machine-specific guides, rails, spacers, stops, changeover hardware and process-specific components.
Machine Guards & Covers
Custom protective covers, housings and non-standard guards designed around equipment geometry and access requirements.
Sensor & Equipment Mounts
Brackets and mounts for sensors, cameras, controllers, inspection equipment and production hardware.
Adapters & Interface Parts
Custom adapters connecting new hardware to existing machines, tooling, frames and production equipment.
Custom Manufacturing Tooling
Low-volume tools and aids designed to improve assembly, inspection, handling or production operations.
Repeat Industrial Parts
Small batches of validated components for maintenance, production cells and specialized equipment.
Can you recreate a machine part if the manufacturer no longer sells it?
Often, yes. Industrial replacement-part projects frequently begin with the physical component rather than a CAD file or drawing.
Can you reverse engineer an obsolete machine part?
A physical component can often be measured or 3D scanned, rebuilt as editable CAD and then evaluated for reproduction using 3D printing, CNC machining or another suitable process.
How Reverse Engineering Works →Can industrial replacement parts be 3D printed?
Yes, when the geometry, loads, temperature, environment and material requirements are appropriate for an additive process. The correct process must be selected around the application.
Explore FDM, SLS & SLA →Should a machine part be CNC machined or 3D printed?
It depends on material, geometry, tolerances, quantity and use. CNC can be preferable for metal and precision interfaces, while additive manufacturing can favor complex geometry and fast revisions.
Compare 3D Printing & CNC →Can you improve a replacement part instead of copying it exactly?
Often, yes. Rebuilding the component in CAD allows worn geometry, weak features or mounting details to be reviewed before a replacement is manufactured.
Read About Remaking Existing Parts →From worn machine component to manufacturable replacement.
Start with the CAD file, drawing, sample part, photograph or equipment problem. The manufacturing process can be selected after the application and requirements are understood.
Review the Existing Part
Understand function, failure point, interfaces, environment, quantity and why a replacement is needed.
Scan or Build CAD
Use existing files, measurements or scanning to create clean manufacturable geometry.
Select the Process
Compare additive manufacturing, CNC or another route based on material and application requirements.
Keep the Digital File
Once validated, the component can move into future replacement runs or low-volume production.
Connect reverse engineering, prototyping and production in one workflow.
What should I send when I need a custom machine part?
A complete CAD file is helpful but not required. Industrial replacement projects can often begin from the physical part, drawings, dimensions or photographs.
If you have no drawings, see our guide to 3D scanning and reverse engineering .
Useful guides for maintenance teams, machine builders and manufacturers.

Questions about custom machine parts and industrial 3D printing.
Does 3DRM Tech make custom machine parts in Montreal?
Yes. 3DRM Tech supports industrial and machinery projects using 3D printing, CAD design, 3D scanning, reverse engineering, CNC machining, rapid prototyping and low-volume manufacturing.
Can you reproduce an obsolete machine part?
Often, yes. Existing components can be measured or scanned, rebuilt as CAD and evaluated for reproduction when original drawings or replacement inventory are unavailable.
Can you 3D print industrial jigs and fixtures?
Yes. Additive manufacturing can be useful for custom jigs, fixtures, nests, guides and other production aids where the selected material meets the application's requirements.
Can a replacement machine part be stronger than the original?
In some cases the reconstructed CAD, geometry or material can be modified before manufacturing. The correct changes depend on why the original component failed and how it is used.
Do I need a CAD file to order a replacement part?
Not necessarily. Projects can often begin from an existing physical component, drawing, sketch, dimensions or photographs. 3D scanning and CAD design can create missing digital geometry.
Is CNC or 3D printing better for industrial parts?
Neither process is automatically better. The correct choice depends on material, geometry, tolerance, load, surface requirements, quantity and the economics of the specific part.
Can you produce small batches of machine parts?
Yes. Suitable validated components can move from a prototype or replacement part into repeat and low-volume production runs.
How do I get a quote for an obsolete machine component?
Send the existing part, CAD file, drawing or photographs together with information about the machine, required quantity and how the component is used.
Have a machine down because a replacement part is unavailable?
Send us the existing component, CAD file, drawing or photographs. We can review whether scanning, CAD, 3D printing, CNC machining or another manufacturing route makes sense.
