High-Performance Injection Moulded & Rubber Components for the Aerospace Industry
In commercial aviation and aerospace engineering, component failure is never an option. Precision, structural integrity, and weight reduction dictate every design decision. As a premier UK aerospace component manufacturer, Rediweld Moulding provides the end-to-end technical expertise needed to manufacture complex, mission-critical parts. Fully accredited to AS 9100 (the international quality management system standard specifically for the aviation, space, and defence industries) we supply high-performance parts that meet the most stringent regulatory and safety demands.
Our Aviation & Aerospace Moulding Capabilities
Whether you are designing cabin interiors, fuel system seals, or engine bracketry, our multi-material manufacturing facility delivers reliable single-source production solutions.
1. Aerospace Plastic Injection Moulded
We specialise in high-pressure aerospace plastic injection moulding utilising advanced horizontal and vertical machinery ranging from 30 to 210 tonnes. Our team works directly with engineering and high-temperature polymers that carry natural flame-retardant UL V0/5V ratings, including:
- PEEK (Polyetheretherketone)
- PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide)
- PEI (Polyetherimide / Ultem)
- LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer)
These advanced resins can be blended with glass, Kevlar, or carbon fibre fillers to maximise dimensional stability and structural strength.
2. Aerospace Lightweight Injection Moulded & Metal Replacement
Reducing weight directly translates to increased fuel efficiency and lowered carbon emissions. Through our specialised metal-to-plastic conversion services, we redesign legacy metal components (traditionally machined or pressed) and convert them into high-performance aerospace plastic components. By optimising structural design and material selection, we reduce total component weight without compromising strength or durability.
3. Precision Aerospace Micro Moulding
Modern aviation electronics and instrumentation rely on increasingly small, intricate geometries. Rediweld addresses this with high-precision aerospace micro moulding equipment operating between 6 and 10 tonnes. This specialised process targets small, high-tolerance components, such as gear-formed thermoplastics, maintaining micron-level accuracy across high-volume production batches.
4. Aerospace Rubber Components
Alongside rigid plastics, we provide extensive elastomeric solutions through custom compression and transfer rubber moulding. Utilising equipment up to 175 tonnes, we manufacture high-performance aviation rubber components designed to withstand chemical exposure, extreme ozone degradation, and radical thermal cycling. For higher volumes, our Injection Repetition Rubber (IRR) capabilities up to 250 tonnes ensure rapid cycling and maximum production efficiency.

Aerospace Injection Moulding FAQs
Yes. We feature dedicated metal-to-plastic conversion expertise. Our engineers can re-evaluate legacy metal assemblies, select high-performance polymers (like glass-filled PEEK or PPS), and redesign the parts for moulding to drastically cut component weight while retaining structural integrity.
We process high-performance, exotic engineering polymers such as PEEK, PPS, PEI (Ultem), and LCP. These materials are selected because they are inherently flame retardant to a UL V0/5V rating, display excellent chemical resistance, and offer stable long-term performance under extreme temperatures.
Yes. We operate high-pressure micro-moulding machinery between 6 and 10 tonnes specifically engineered to produce incredibly small, highly precise components, including specialised thermoplastic gears and electronics housings.
Absolutely. We have extensive technical capabilities in rubber-to-metal bonding. We can securely bond advanced rubber compounds to substrates like aluminium, steel, and brass, which is perfect for manufacturing aerospace gaskets, seals, and vibration isolation mounts.
