CAD and vacuum forming prototyping services
At FB-AVAK, effective product development begins with intelligent design integration. Our specialist CAD and prototyping services are focused on transforming concepts into production-ready vacuum-formed components quickly, accurately and cost-effectively.
Successful vacuum forming depends on incorporating process considerations at the design stage. By engaging with FB-AVAK early, customers benefit from expert guidance on draft angles, material behaviour, wall thickness control, tooling strategy and manufacturability, ensuring streamlined development and avoiding costly redesigns later.
Using advanced CAD/CAM software, we convert your design files directly into precise tooling data. This digital workflow enables rapid progression from concept to physical sample. In most cases, we can produce prototype mouldings within days, allowing customers to assess fit, form, surface finish and functional performance before committing to production tooling.
Where CAD data is unavailable, our 3D laser scanning capability allows us to reverse engineer existing components, generating accurate digital models to support prototype or replacement manufacture.
We can use your CAD, or our designers can develop CAD for you!

Prototype tooling is typically produced in model board or wood for speed and cost efficiency, before progressing to aluminium-filled resin or cast aluminium tools for production volumes. Every part is finished using CNC-controlled trimming programs to ensure repeatable accuracy.
Whether you are developing a new enclosure, refining a component or validating a design for market launch, FB-AVAK’s CAD-driven prototyping services reduce risk, shorten lead times and accelerate your path to production and finished assembly.
