Follow the story of PlasmaTrack, a company tackling the long‑standing problem of leaves on the line with an innovative plasma‑based cleaning system. The case study explores how the technology evolved from an RSSB research programme into a robust, rail‑ready product undergoing trials with Network Rail. It highlights the development challenges, the use of SOLIDWORKS for virtual testing, structural analysis and design control, and the environmental benefits of a low‑consumption plasma solution. With support from SOLID Solutions for CAD, simulation and specialist guidance, PlasmaTrack has been able to refine its system for real‑world railway conditions and accelerate its journey towards commercial deployment.
