Design intent
A worn or broken sample may not preserve original dimensions, fits, or material properties.

Replacement & Obsolete Part Manufacturing
When an original component is unavailable, discontinued, or delayed, Stratum helps determine a practical path to a replacement. Depending on the part, that may involve CNC milling, CNC turning, industrial FDM, or a combination of processes.
Common applications
Built for functional manufacturing requirements.
Every project is evaluated against the supplied geometry, application, material, quantity, critical features, and acceptance criteria.
- 01Discontinued machine components
- 02Damaged brackets, adapters, and mounts
- 03Bushings, spacers, shafts, and wear components
- 04Guards, covers, guides, and polymer hardware
- 05Legacy equipment service parts
- 06Short-run spares for maintenance inventory
Engineering review
What shapes the manufacturing plan.
Useful quotes depend on the functional requirements behind the model. These factors are reviewed before a process is committed.
Operating conditions
Load, temperature, chemicals, wear, impact, and surrounding components influence process and material selection.
Available information
Drawings and CAD are preferred; suitable physical samples may support review when documentation is missing.
Risk review
Safety-critical, regulated, or poorly defined applications may require information or validation beyond the available scope.
RFQ to delivery
A direct, technical workflow.
Material selection is application-driven. Metal and engineering-polymer options are evaluated against the original function, service environment, quantity, and available design information.
Review material categories →- 01
Review available drawings, CAD, photographs, measurements, or sample information.
- 02
Clarify function, environment, interfaces, and failure or wear conditions.
- 03
Recommend machining, additive manufacturing, or a combined approach.
- 04
Produce and inspect against the agreed replacement requirements.
Project questions
Before you send the RFQ.
Can you copy a part from a physical sample?+
A suitable sample can support evaluation, but it may be worn, distorted, or incomplete. We will identify missing information and avoid treating damaged dimensions as confirmed design intent.
Do you guarantee compatibility with undocumented equipment?+
Compatibility depends on the accuracy and completeness of the supplied requirements. Functional interfaces and acceptance criteria should be confirmed before production.
Can you make several spares after the first part?+
Yes. Once requirements are confirmed, additional low-volume spares can be quoted using the established part information.
