Legacy PCB Design Recovery When the Original CAD Is Gone

Turn an aging industrial board back into design files your team can archive and maintain.

Legacy PCB design recovery is for equipment that still earns its keep after the original design authority has disappeared. We treat the sample as the source of truth and rebuild the design record: schematic, board notes, and a parts list tied to what is actually fitted.

Maintenance groups use the package to brief a redesign, to buy long-lead parts, or to store a digital record next to the mechanical drawings they already keep.

Where this service fits

• A plant inherited machines without the electrical design pack.
• The last engineer retired and the CAD archive was not transferred.
• A spare-parts contract requires a documented board, not only a physical spare.
• An insurer or auditor asked for a maintained design record.

What you receive

• Recovered schematic with net names you can review
• Board stack-up and outline notes from the sample
• BOM grouped by circuit function
• An archive README that states what was measured and what was inferred

How the work proceeds

1. Scope the board family and the maintenance goal.
2. Capture geometry, stack-up, and connectivity.
3. Rebuild the design files and flag every inference.
4. Hand over the archive and a review call.
