Design & Prototyping
Bringing Your Vision to Life
At ASM Tech, we offer comprehensive design and prototyping services to bring your ideas to life. Whether you have a rough sketch, a detailed CAD file, or simply a written description, our experienced team can assist you throughout the entire process. We can quickly produce prototypes from your designs using one of our in-house 3D printers.
ASM Tech rapidly bring ideas to reality, reducing your lead times and support you in bringing your products swiftly to market.
CAD Design
Whether you have an existing CAD file, a sample to reverse engineer, or simply a written description, our experienced team can help create your vision.
Multiple options available, 2D CAD, 2.5D CAD Prismatic models, 3D CAD, 3D wireframe and surface modelling and solid geometry modelling by using any of the following methods:
Written Instructions: Clearly describe your desired part, along with sample images if you have any. Our team will then work with you to translate your requirements into detailed tooling designs.
Provided Samples: Submit a physical sample of the part you wish to produce, and we will reverse engineer it to create the necessary tooling.
Existing CAD Files: If you have existing CAD files, our engineers can review and amend them as needed to ensure optimal tooling performance.
Prototyping
We prioritise fast turnaround times, allowing you to quickly iterate on your designs and make necessary adjustments.
Our team take your ideas from drawing to prototyping as quickly and easily as possible. This ability to be agile and reduce lead times with new designs gives you the advantage to get ahead.
We encourage a collaborative approach to design and prototyping and a focus on human led design helps us achieve our goal of “right first time”.
With access to a wide range of materials, we have an efficient, fast and effective solution that’s right for you, whether it’s a plastic prototype to test form, fit and function or as a starting point for our other processes.

Tooling Design
Our skilled engineers can design and create the necessary tooling for your vacuum forming projects, from a variety of sources.
Precision tooling is paramount and we meticulously craft each tool using CNC machining techniques, ensuring strict adherence to your precise CAD specifications. Our expert team meticulously guides you in selecting the most suitable tooling materials, considering your production volume, budget, and the desired lifespan of your components.
By designing the CAD to utilise high speed tool paths, we can reduce production times and minimise material usage.

3D Printing
We utilise 3D printing technology to rapidly produce prototypes, allowing you to test your designs early in the development process.
3D printing, is most effective during the planning stages and prior to final production. From CAD design straight to 3D printing, enables us to quickly produce a prototype that will serve as the basis for the tooling used in final production.
We can rapidly produce prototypes and functional parts, allowing you to visualise and test your designs early in the development process. This hastens the lead time and saves money on the overall cost. Convieniently located in the East Midlands, Nottingham, we serve customers all over the UK.
