Broken part and 3D-printed reproduction — NC Factory workshop Antibes
Workshop in Antibes, France

Part repair & reproduction

Broken part repair and reproduction: 3D printing and reverse engineering — repair, not replace

Repair / reproduction offer: the part is broken, unavailable, out of catalogue or the manufacturer no longer exists? We reproduce it by 3D printing in 24-48h — from a simple photo or the original part.

Common use cases

Broken parts we often reproduce

The goal is to repair quickly, but above all to produce a part suited to its real environment.

Home appliances

Knobs, handles, clips, hinges, latches, feet and unavailable covers.

Shutters & home

Guides, end caps, mounts, gate parts, covers, adapters and stops.

Automotive

Clips, covers, fasteners, sensor mounts, interior parts and garage tooling.

Boat & yacht

Plastic deck hardware, bimini clips, guides, mounts, protections and dockside parts.

Industry & machines

Knobs, caps, spacers, jigs, bushings, obsolete parts and protections.

Furniture & outdoor

Pads, connectors, hinges, clips and outdoor elements exposed to UV.

Process

From broken part to usable replacement

A workflow designed for people with no drawing, no 3D file and no manufacturer reference.

Photo & diagnosis

You send a photo, the part or fragments. We identify function, constraints and feasibility.

Household appliances, rolling shutters, classic vehicles, boats, industrial machines: we reproduce all plastic, resin or metal parts in technical materials adapted to actual use.

Materials & constraints

The right material for real use

A part that breaks again is not a successful repair. Material choice is central.

ASA

Very useful outdoors, UV exposure, boat, automotive and sun-exposed parts.

PETG

Good balance for common functional parts, water, moderate impacts and light indoor/outdoor use.

Nylon

Best for mechanical stress, wear, bushings, guides, hinges and loaded parts.

TPU

Flexible for seals, bumpers, protections, pads, dampers and anti-vibration parts.

SLA resin

Precise for small detailed parts, fine clips, complex shapes and smooth finish.

CNC

Consider for aluminum, PTFE/POM, high constraints or tight tolerances.

What to send

How to get a faster quote

Even without a 3D file, a few simple details greatly speed up diagnosis.

Photo with scale

Place a ruler or known object next to the part to estimate dimensions.

Part function

Say what the part blocks, supports, guides, closes, protects or holds.

Constraints

Heat, UV, water, salt, friction, flexibility, food contact or vibration.

Quantity & urgency

One part, pair, small batch or recurring production: this changes the method.

Proof & examples

Broken part reproduction in Antibes, Cannes, Nice and Monaco

Our Antibes workshop helps individuals, garages, crews, SMEs and craftspeople with broken part reproduction across the Alpes-Maritimes. 3D printing is not only about copying a shape: it is about remaking a part with a material suited to its use. For existing parts with no drawing, we combine 3D scanning, manual measurements, CAD modeling and manufacturing by 3D printing or CNC machining.

Prototypes & Series

From idea to pre-series

Engineering, CAD, DFM, electronics, prototyping and manufacturing: one partner to industrialize your product — SMEs, startups and industrial sites.

Our French workshop

Design and manufacture under one roof

A real workshop on the French Riviera: professional machines, quality control, short lead times. From one-offs to small series — Made in France, delivered across the 06 and nationwide.

24 Avenue de la Verte Pagane, 06600 Antibes

Pro machine park

FDM/SLA 3D printing, laser, CNC, electronics: technical means under one roof to move from study to manufacturing.

Quality checked

Every part is verified before shipping. Technical materials selected for real-world use (UV, mechanical, outdoor, marine).

Responsive lead times

Quote within 24h, production often in 24–48h. Rush jobs possible depending on workshop load.

Delivery & installation

Express delivery with optional installation in the Alpes-Maritimes, home or pickup point nationwide — quayside delivery for yachting.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Yes, as long as all fragments are preserved. We can reconstruct the model from the pieces, or fill in missing areas by geometric inference.
Often stronger. Modern technical materials (ASA, Nylon, reinforced PETG) outperform most injection-moulded 2000s plastics on thermal, UV and mechanical criteria.
Rolling shutter parts, door handles, body clips and fasteners, dashboard parts, boat hardware, small appliance gears, outdoor furniture elements.
Yes. We machine parts in aluminum, steel, brass and PTFE by CNC. For small complex mechanical parts, we evaluate metal 3D printing or machining based on the constraint.
Antibes, Cannes, Nice, Monaco and the whole 06 department. Home delivery, dockside (boats) or pickup point. France-wide shipping by Colissimo Express.
