Certain Forerunner devices are capable of assembling objects out of raw materials, rearranging matter on a molecular or atomic scale. [[Design seed]]s could manufacture entire spacecraft on-site using only raw materials from the surrounding environment, and [[Promethean Watcher]]s can similarly "conjure" new [[Crawler]]s simply by using raw materials present in an area of ground.<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/blogs/Headlines/post/2012/06/20/The-Halo-Bulletin-62012.aspx '''Halo Waypoint:''' ''The Halo Bulletin: 6.20.12'']</ref>

While few other examples of Forerunner nanotechnology are known to exist, their level of technological advancement would imply that most of their technology involved some form of nanotech.
Assembler vats, also referred to as assemblers were nanofabrication facilities utilized by Forerunners to construct various artifacts. Assemblers ranged in size and complexity from small machines used to manufacture personal items to moon-sized foundries capable of constructing entire shield worlds and space stations. Instructions and construction templates on how to build various items were fed to assemblers for mass replication in the form of a design seed.
