A Miami-based service scans broken or discontinued parts, rebuilds them in CAD, and makes replacements for aviation, marine, and small-shop use.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-22 issue.
For
Aircraft builders, boat owners, and small manufacturers
Worth noticing
The service explicitly excludes structural and flight-critical parts; simple jobs start at $175, with fit-check prints from $75.

Field notes

The quote form asks customers to start with photos and basic details; an existing CAD file can be uploaded to bypass the design step. The site says it keeps design files for future reorders and lists carbon-fiber nylon, polycarbonate, and ASA as material options. It limits the work to non-structural parts and gives an estimated 7–10 business days after receiving a part, with rush work available on request.
