Manufacturing for EASYFAIRS

The Advanced Manufacturing Awards 2025 project began with a clear idea proposed by the organisers of the fair: they wanted the trophy to incorporate the “M”, the symbol of Advanced Manufacturing Madrid. From this premise, our design team set to work developing different proposals that would reflect the event’s identity and the values of the advanced manufacturing industry.

We presented three initial designs, each with a different approach in terms of shape, balance, and visual interpretation of the logo. After reviewing the options, the organisers selected a model that stood out for its clean aesthetic and solid structure, capable of representing the innovation and technical precision characteristic of the sector.

Building on this base design, we refined the details and added engraved text on the base, indicating each award category, such as “Best Sustainable Project” or “Best Design Innovation”.

For manufacturing, we used HP’s MJF technology, one of the most advanced solutions in industrial 3D printing, which allowed us to achieve high definition and a top-quality finish. Finally, the trophies were painted in the colour chosen by Easyfairs, the event organisers, resulting in a piece with a modern presence, perfectly aligned with the visual identity of Advanced Manufacturing Madrid.

The result was a set of trophies that combine design, technology, and precision—three values that also define our work at Ineo.

Manufacturing for ALSTEF

ALSTEF, a world leader in the design, integration, and support of automated solutions for the airport, intralogistics, and mail and parcel handling industries, was exhibiting at the PTE 2025 trade fair in Madrid and wanted to present a new AGV (automated guided vehicle) by creating a 1:4 scale model that resembled the real vehicle, but without movement.

ALSTEF contacted us from its headquarters in New Zealand. They explained their needs, and our technical team got to work on the project.

The solution began with a technical analysis phase of the 3D files provided by the client. Our engineering team reviewed the geometry of the parts, identified potential critical points, and carried out design optimization to improve both performance and manufacturing efficiency.

This phase included:

🔍 Structural review of the 3D models

🧽 We removed unnecessary geometry and reduced the scale

🛠️ All details that became too small after scaling down had to be modified to ensure manufacturability

Once the designs were validated, we proceeded with manufacturing using a combination of advanced technologies:

🧊 3D printing using SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) and MJF (Multi Jet Fusion by HP) for parts requiring greater strength.

💎 SLA (Stereolithography) with translucent resin for parts simulating lights.

🔩 Some specific parts were manufactured using a lathe, milling machine, and saw.

When all parts were ready, we adjusted them and proceeded with finishing: polishing and painting.

Finally, we built a reusable transport case to ensure safe shipping, allowing the client to use it for transporting the model to other trade shows or events.

The set was delivered with an assembly and disassembly manual.

Limited series production for Scalextric and Audi

Manufacture for Scalextric of a limited series (50 units) of a new model based on an innovative AUDI concept car, the Grand Sphere. To produce all the units in record time, we had to combine several of the rapid manufacturing technologies that we have available, such as laser sintering (SLS), stereolithography (SLA), HP Multi Jet Fusion (MJF), Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) and vacuum casting using silicone molds.
