all in - RAPIDEST PROTOTYPING
Welcome to the front-runner. Since 1995, we have been continually setting new standards for rapid prototype production in terms of both quality and speed. Employing innovative methods and technologies partially developed in-house, in conjunction with complete in-house management of processes and perfectly organized workflows. The results are high-precision, finished ready-to-install casting prototypes, produced in record time. Since October 2017 ACTech is a member of the materialise group. Besides casting prototypes it is now possible to offer parts produced by Metal 3D Printing as well.
Our customers around the world, especially in the automotive, engineering and aerospace sectors, place great value on our technological advances and reliability. Our ‘all in’ strategy enables us to manage all production steps ourselves to provide the shortest lead time possible. It allows ACTech to be more independent, more reliable and faster than others. In combination with our experience of more than 40.000 different prototype projects it’s the reason why our customers keep on going ‘all in’ with us.

Core Business
Sensor Development and Manufacturing
Tesona is a leading manufacturer of high-temperature sensors designed for demanding automotive applications. The product portfolio includes temperature, pressure, and NOx sensors. The high-temperature exhaust sensors are designed for use in exhaust systems, particulate filters (DPF and GPF) and turbochargers. They are capable of accurately measuring temperatures from -40°C up to 1200°C. The geometric requirements can also be adapted to the customer's individual needs. Various digital interfaces such as PWM, SENT, and CAN are available.
System Development and Production
In addition to sensor technology, Tesona develops and produces complex systems for the automotive industry. An example is the Water-Boost Technology by injecting a fine water mist into the intake manifold, the engine is cooled, which can lead to increased performance alongside reduced fuel consumption and emissions. This technology is particularly relevant for modern combustion engines and is being prepared for series production in collaboration with a German OEM. This technology not only makes engines more efficient but also simplifies compliance with EU or other directives.
Smart Plastics and the SHT® Technology
Smart Plastics, is innovative plastic solutions. Notably, Tesona has developed and holds a patent for the SHT® (Smart Heating Technology®):
SHT® is a self-regulating heating system based on the PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) effect. Carbon particles embedded within a plastic heating element increase resistance as temperature rises, causing the heating power to decrease (PTC effect).
This process prevents overheating without the need for external sensor-based control. SHT® technology enables uniform surface heating and is used in various applications, such as tank shells, heated camera housings for driver assistance systems, interior trim components, or for temperature regulation of batteries in electric and hybrid vehicles.
