Need to Replicate a Spring or Wire Form? Inside Our Reverse Engineering Process.

Do you need a spring or wire form but don’t have the original print? Orlando Precision is here to assist.

Our experienced team can often reverse engineer a spring or wire form with nothing more than a sample in hand. We analyze the sample and work with you to determine key specifications and recreate a custom spring or wire form for your application.

Reverse Engineering from Sample Springs and Wire Forms

Whether you have abundant information about your sample or none at all, we can infer several important details with a close examination of your sample spring or wire form:

Replicating Spring and Wire Form Functionality 

Although we can learn quite a bit about your spring or wire form through a physical examination and basic testing, we’ll need more information from you about its functionality and intended application.

If you need a compression spring replicated, let us know how far the spring compresses in its application and if a specific force or spring rate is required. If you need an extension spring, let us know how far it will need to extend. And if you need a torsion spring replicated, tell us what angle the spring is installed and how far it rotates in application and if a specific torque is needed.

The more information you provide, the better equipped we are to manufacture the spring or wire form you need.

Optimizing a Replicated Spring or Wire Form

Reverse engineering springs and wire forms provides an excellent opportunity to review and assess the original design. You may be able to make changes in the design that could improve functionality, save money, or both.

If you want to optimize your spring, we’ll run a design check to reveal weak points that may cause your spring to become overstressed or prone to failure, then adjust those areas of concern. If your replacement spring needs a complete overhaul, consider our spring prototyping services to start the design process from scratch.

Reviewing your design may also present ways to cut costs. If, for instance, we find that operations like grinding aren’t critical for functionality, we can save you the extra expense. For wire forms, we often suggest small design changes to increase production speeds or reduce tooling costs.
