8th August 2023

Pandrol approached Sheffield manufacturer, AME-3D, to produce 10 models of railway tracks that they needed for InnoTrans. AME-3D utilised a variety of technologies for their customer including 3D printing.

Last year, Pandrol approached AME-3D to produce 10 models of railway tracks that they needed for InnoTrans, International Trade Fair for Transport Technology. These track models highlighted the safety features that Pandrol provide to the railway networks.  

A Multifaceted Manufacturing Approach  

Each model was manufactured by AME using multiple different manufacturing methods including:  

- Vacuum Casting  
- SLA 3D Printing  
- SLS 3D Printing  
- Custom finishes  
- Manual assembly of components  

Alongside this, Pandrol provided AME with some of their own components to be added to the final model. 

Tradeshow Model Makers  

Through using multiple manufacturing technologies, AME were able to produce 10 models for Pandrol as a cost-effective solution & in time to be presented at their event.  

Each model was carefully assembled and finished to their exact specifications.  

“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." 

 - Jaime Kitchen   

AME-3D's flexible services mean that they can craft models for a range of purposes through 3D printing and moulding techniques. If you need a model making for an exhibition, please get in touch with AME-3D today to discuss your specifications.
