Wrights Plastics keeps land train project on track

WEST BROMWICH, U.K. - Jan. 21, 2025 - PRLog -- When Severn Lamb contacted the West Bromwich-based manufacturer with a requirement for passenger seating for their land trains, they had an example of the seating but nothing else. Wrights Plastics latest service – together with their extensive materials and manufacturing expertise – meant they were able to successfully reverse engineer the sample seat and in conjunction with Severn Lamb finalised CAD creation, to give them everything they needed to progress the project from sample to manufacturing.

Severn Lamb is a Warwickshire-based company with a worldwide reputation for the design and manufacture of light urban, leisure and resort transportation – if you haven't been on one of their trains, your kids probably have at locations across the UK, Europe & the USA.

Wrights Plastics have previously manufactured end caps for the company and that gave them the confidence to approach them for this more substantial project.

After reverse engineering their sample, our design development team and plastic prototyping skills meant they were able to develop a cost-effective solution – one mould which could be used to manufacture 2, 3 or 4 seats depending on the train's configuration.

The mould is used to vacuum form the seating from 6mm gloss acrylic ABS. After being vacuum formed, the mould is then moved to on the CNC router for finishing and final configuration.
