Before Factorem: The Challenge

Missing Drawings, Technical and Risky

John Tucker, Founder of Exemplar Audio was in a bind. He needed to reproduce a critical component for their upcoming products, a legacy part with no available technical drawings.

Original machine shop with critical drawings had shut down

No access to technical drawings for a legacy part

Team lacked in-house technical expertise to recreate the design

Only reference was a golden sample, with no digital documentation

High-stakes project with no clear path to production

Too complex to execute internally, yet too important to abandon
