Capabilities
Coast Dynamix leads reverse engineering, CAD, measurement, project coordination, manufacturing documentation, and follow-through to finished parts. Specialized scanning and laboratory analysis (including 3D scanning, FTIR, and XRF) are accessed through qualified partners. Machining and fabrication are likewise coordinated through manufacturing partners selected for the job.
Partner scanning & analysis
3D scanning, FTIR polymer/coating identification, and XRF alloy analysis are available via partner labs and service providers when a project needs them — not as in-house Coast Dynamix laboratory services.
3D scanning
High-resolution 3D scanning for brackets, castings, housings, and assemblies — especially when calipers and hand measurements are not enough. Scanning is available through qualified partners and coordinated into the engineering workflow.
FTIR analysis
Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy helps confirm plastic, rubber, gasket, and composite materials before you commit to a replacement material or process. FTIR analysis is available through qualified laboratory partners when the project needs it.
XRF analysis
X-ray fluorescence testing supports alloy identification on hardware, fittings, and machined components — critical when the wrong material means corrosion or failure at sea. XRF analysis is available through qualified partners when alloy identity matters.
Deliverables
Deliverables vary by project and are defined in the written quote.
Manufactured replacement part
A finished component produced to the agreed design and material — not just drawings.
3D CAD model / STEP file
Manufacturing-ready geometry for review, archive, or shop use.
Manufacturing drawing
Dimensioned documentation shops can machine or fabricate from.
Delivery of finished components
Completed parts shipped or handed off ready for service.
On-vessel or yard installation
Install the replacement on the boat or at the yard when that support is quoted.
Material recommendation
Alloy, polymer, or coating guidance based on service conditions and available data.
Dimensional documentation
Measurements, references, and notes captured from the original or the field.
Inspection or verification record
Checks against critical interfaces when that step is included in the quote.
Prototype
Fit or form evaluation before committing to final production.
Spare-part documentation
Packages that support reordering or future small-batch production.
Manufacturing coordination
Vendor selection and production follow-through for machining or fabrication.
Service area
We take reverse-engineering and replacement-part jobs from across the continental United States. Send photos and measurements, or send the part to Fort Lauderdale — then get the finished replacement back when fabrication is in scope.
Home base for in-person measurement, handoff, yard visits, and on-vessel work across South Florida marinas and shipyards when the project calls for it.
For larger jobs we can travel to the vessel or yard. International and vessel-down projects — including boats in the Bahamas or Caribbean that need a part to continue — are evaluated individually for logistics and timeline.
Workflow
01
Ship us the component or schedule an inspection.
02
We measure and inspect the component, coordinate specialized scanning or material analysis through qualified partners when needed, and recreate the component in CAD.
03
The component can be prototyped, machined, fabricated, printed, or produced through qualified manufacturing partners.
04
Receive the replacement component and available engineering documentation.
