refabricating

Constructing once more

Refabricating is the present participle of refabricate, meaning to fabricate again—to remake, reconstruct, or manufacture anew.

The term appears in manufacturing contexts where parts are rebuilt rather than replaced: The shop specializes in refabricating vintage aircraft components.

It can also mean to reinvent or reconstitute something abstract: She spent years refabricating her public image.
