Do you inspect a part if I only have a photo?

Yes. A clear photo plus one or two key dimensions is enough for a feasibility check. For final production we ask for the physical sample so we can 3D-scan it, separate worn from functional surfaces, and build a CAD model from real geometry.

What tolerance can you hold for reverse-engineered parts?

CNC machined metal and plastic parts are held to plus or minus 0.05 millimeter on critical features and plus or minus 0.1 millimeter general. 3D-printed prototypes are typically plus or minus 0.1 to 0.2 millimeter. Rubber and silicone molded parts are verified by first article inspection to functional fit.

Do I get a material certificate with a replacement part?

Yes, when material matters. For production parts we can provide a material certificate of analysis, hardness test report, XRF material identification when the original datasheet is lost, First Article Inspection report, and a scan-to-CAD deviation summary.

What if the original discontinued part is badly worn or broken?

We do not copy a worn surface blindly. We identify datums and mating features, separate worn surfaces from functional ones, reconstruct the intended geometry from symmetry and standard sizes, and confirm reconstructed dimensions with you before production.

Can you improve the original design during reverse engineering?

Yes, within reason. We commonly upgrade material grade and weak sections while keeping mounting patterns, shaft sizes, bolt circles, and interface dimensions OEM-correct unless you request a change.

Do you do one-piece prototypes for obsolete parts?

Yes. Most reverse-engineering jobs start with one piece: 3D scan, CAD reconstruction, single CNC or 3D-printed unit, fit check on your machine, then small batch. Minimum order quantity of one is standard for discontinued spare parts.

How fast can a reverse-engineered part be ready?

Most mechanical parts are ready in 7–15 business days after sample receipt. Rush service (3–7 business days) is available. Electronics-adhesive die-cuts often ship faster.

Is a reproduced part as good as the OEM original?

In most cases yes, and often better. We can upgrade material grade, tighten tolerances, or improve surface finish based on how the part actually wears. Dimensional inspection reports ship with every order.

What if the OEM released a revised version after mine?

We can incorporate the OEM's design revision into your reproduction—without the OEM lead time, tooling cost, or minimum order quantity.

Can you make multiple copies for spares?

Yes. Most maintenance teams order 3–5 units: one for immediate repair, the rest as strategic spares to avoid repeat downtime.

What is the minimum order quantity?

One piece. We regularly produce single-unit reproductions for legacy equipment with no OEM support, plus low-volume runs of 10–50 pcs.

Olympus E-M5 Body Gasket — Ultra-Thin Foam Seal

Custom reverse engineering, non-drawing part reproduction, and complete internal auxiliary material kits for legacy, discontinued, and new electronics.

Olympus E-M5 Body Gasket — Ultra-Thin Foam Seal for E-M5/E-M10 Series

Olympus's camera service business has shrunk dramatically after the imaging division restructuring. Original body gaskets and AF flex cushion foam for E-M5 and E-M10 series are no longer available through official channels. After disassembly, water and dust enter through body joints.

MoreMaking reproduces ultra-thin foam gaskets and AF flex cushion foam for Olympus E-M5 Mark I/II and E-M10 series. We use 0.3 mm PORON foam matched to Olympus's original cut shape. Each set includes body joint gasket + AF flex cushion + viewfinder seal.

Bullet Points

• 0.3 mm PORON ultra-thin foam, matched to Olympus spec
• Full set: body gasket + AF flex cushion + viewfinder seal
• Fits E-M5 Mark I/II and E-M10 Mark I/II/III
• Stops water/dust ingress and AF cable rattle
• Top-tier scarcity — donor-unit pulls are the only alternative

FAQ

Q: Why are Olympus parts so hard to find?
A: After Olympus imaging restructuring, older model support withdrawn.

Q: Does it fit E-M1?
A: Yes, different SKU.

Q: Can I use generic foam?
A: Generic foam is too thick — body won't close. Exact 0.3 mm spec required.
