The image opposite shows an exploded view from one of the 6 laser printer cartridge reverse engineering and design projects Finetech worked on.

We used our Browne and Sharp manual CMM to digitise the critical dimensions from the original and then set to work on redesigning the new product around all the IP and physical restrictions, ensuring the end product met a strict specification defined at the beginning of the project.

The completed 3D models, engineering drawings, prototypes and patent design-around manuals were then handed over to Gatehill in China
