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 39.000 different prototype projects it’s the reason why our customers keep on going ‘all in’ with us.
BÖLLINGER GROUP specializes in the production of innovative prototypes, development parts, and small, niche, or special series for the automotive, aerospace, mechanical and plant engineering, and consumer goods industries. We offer a wide range of advanced manufacturing technologies: additive manufacturing (aluminum, stainless steel, Inconel, titanium – up to 800 mm), low-pressure and sand casting for aluminum alloys, and high-performance machining – all from a single source. Together with our customers, we develop the right strategy to determine which processes are used – either as a full-service solution or selected individual services. We also offer: X-ray inspection, optical and tactile measurement (CMM), leak testing (bubble and differential pressure methods), chemical analysis, crack and hardness testing, determination of mechanical properties, laser marking, cleaning incl. residual contamination analysis, (pre-)assembly – and more on request.
