Rapid Prototyping Services

CAD and documentation support that helps teams prepare a concept for physical evaluation and structured design feedback.

Starting point

What we need from you

  • Concept geometry, sketches, or reference dimensions
  • The question the prototype must help answer
  • Prototype process, material, and supplier constraints when known

Technical handoff

What you receive

  • Functional prototype parts
  • STL and CAD files for iteration and production
  • Design revisions based on testing and feedback
  • Prototype assemblies (when applicable)

A more useful prototype cycle with clearer inputs and more actionable feedback.

Final files, formats, and review requirements are agreed in the project scope.

Common questions

Clarify the scope before work begins.

Does ACMS manufacture the prototype?

The scope can prepare the engineering information needed for prototyping and supplier review. Fabrication responsibility is confirmed for each project.

Is prototype geometry production-ready?

Not automatically. Prototype work is scoped around a learning objective; production release requires its own review and documentation decisions.
