PARTS SUPPLY

Obsolete Parts Supply

Continuum Rail specialise in the supply, using Reverse Engineering where required, of parts which have become obsolete through whatever reason. Using our 3D scanning partner we are able to produce accurate 3D models of parts which are then used to produce manufacturing drawings. With our network of manufacturing partners we are able to select the most suitable manufacturing process based upon the form, function and quantity of parts required. Where necessary we will undertake testing (physical or simulated) and provide support through the Engineering Change process.

No drawings, no problem

In many cases, drawings for existing parts are no longer available. Continuum Rail work with our established Reverse Engineering partner to produce 3D models from existing parts. With 3D models and drawings produced this ensures that the parts supply is restarted in unlimited quantities based upon the requirements of the customer.

Testing where required

Where necessary, Continuum Rail are able to arrange for testing (physical or computer simulations) to demonstrate compliance of parts where any changes to the original part are made. This may be relating to material selection or the form of the parts.

Low volume parts supply

With moulded parts in particular, tooling costs can be high and when ammortised over low volume parts this can significantly increase the individual parts cost. Continuum Rail are able to look at cost effective tooling solutions (utilising 3D printed moulds where required) which can make parts cost effective from quantities as low as 5.

Manufacturing

Continuum Rail work with manufacturing partners around the UK who specialise in a wide range of manufacturing processes.

This ensures that we are able to select the most cost effective manufacturing process based upon form, function and quantity of parts required.
