A machine that runs is the best drawing there is. This topic gathers the guides on reverse engineering: how a machine is copied step by step, how a spare part is made from the worn original, what to survey to clone a line or a whole plant, what you can legally copy in Argentina and what it costs. Plus some history, because copying other people’s machines is older than industry itself.
The full reverse-engineering process, from teardown to the finished copy.
