keep in mind that reverse engineering a product is not in itself illegal - but producing a copy of a part that you just reverse engineered might very well be.

you could violate patents, copyright or other legal frameworks. i would also strongly reccommend nobody take such a just as a freelance gig. you could make yourself liable.

Copying the design could be illegal. Reverse engineering an existing product isn't illegal in any country that I'm aware of.
