Tradeshow Models
The Challenge
Pandrol, a global leader in rail infrastructure technology, required 10 high-quality railway track models to showcase at InnoTrans, the International Trade Fair for Transport Technology. The models needed to highlight Pandrol’s safety innovations and demonstrate their role in maximising track availability, safety, and long-term value for rail networks worldwide. To meet exhibition standards, the models had to be visually striking, durable, and completed within a strict deadline ahead of the show.
The Solution
We collaborated closely with Pandrol to produce the models using a combination of advanced manufacturing methods:
-
Vacuum casting for durable, production-quality components.
-
SLA 3D printing for fine detail and smooth surface finishes.
-
SLS 3D printing for strong, functional parts.
-
Custom finishing and manual assembly to ensure professional presentation.
Pandrol also provided specific components, which were carefully integrated into the final models to ensure authenticity and accuracy.
The Results
-
10 exhibition-ready models produced to a high standard.
-
Delivered on time for InnoTrans, ensuring Pandrol could effectively showcase their technology.
-
Multi-technology approach demonstrated the flexibility of AME-3D’s manufacturing services.
-
Enhanced Pandrol’s exhibition presence with professional, detailed, and accurate models that clearly communicated their safety solutions.
“Working with AME-3D is excellent. We are able to utilise their expert knowledge and excellent workmanship to produce what we need, when we need it. As we were presenting our models at a tradeshow, they had to have a perfect visual finish. The team didn’t let us down, providing us with cost-effective options for our projects and we continue to use them when needed.”
