Rubber Injection Moulding Tool Design
Rivercircle provides specialist injection moulding tool design and manufacture for rubber components, with every tool produced in-house at our UK facilities. Our experienced engineering team uses advanced 3D CAD/CAM technology to create accurate tooling, from single-cavity rubber moulds to complex multi-cavity tools and large rubber-to-metal-bonded component moulds with 3D surface forms.
With more than 40 years of engineering experience, we support projects from initial design through to manufacture, prototype production and tool tryout. Our in-house facilities also allow us to provide mould tool repair and modification services when existing tooling needs attention. Let’s discuss your specifications and we can provide a realistic timeframe.
What We Do
Injection mould tooling may be one part of a larger production project for your business. Our in-house engineering capabilities cover everything from precision machining and component assembly to automated production systems and specialist leak testing. This means we can support different stages of a project under one roof, working from your drawings, specifications or production requirements.
Mould Tool Repair Services
We offer in-house mould tool repair and refurbishment services, including cavity repairs, replacement components, and tool conversions from compression/ transfer to injection. Conversion upgrades to run on different presses. We can also carry out flashing repairs to help return existing tooling to effective working condition.
Purpose-Built Leak Test Machines
Our services include pressure decay and underwater leak testing, from standalone fixtures to fully integrated automated transfer lines. Systems can incorporate dunk tanks for underwater testing, alongside automated handling and testing processes.
Multi-Component Assembly
We handle automated assembly systems for multi-product component assembly, with automatic feeding and handling for different production requirements. We also build dedicated machinery forthe press fit assembly of suspension components and anti-vibration mount bush assembly.
Process Automation & Special Purpose Machines
We offer bespoke machinery, automated handling, vision inspection and component verification systems designed around specific production processes.
Sub-Contract Precision Machining
This includes CNC precision machining of components and fixture tooling assemblies, manufactured to customer drawings and specifications. Our capabilities cover both prototype and production machining, with quick turnaround available when required.
We Offer A Complete Service
Our in-house design departments of mechanical, electrical, and software engineers provide full support to our modern manufacturing, assembly and prove out facilities.
Design and Moulding Capabilities
We manage the whole process in-house, from initial injection moulding tool design through to manufacture. Our mould tool design engineering expertise, combined with advanced technology, allows us to develop tooling around each component’s geometry and production requirements.
Our capabilities include:
- Complex 3D surface forms
- Single and multi-cavity designs
- Prototype mould tool manufacture

FAQs
Useful information includes the component drawing or 3D CAD model, press type, compression, transfer or injection production intent, material and grade, expected production volumes, dimensional tolerances and shrinkage, as well as any specific surface finish requirements. This helps with tooling design so we can account for both the component and its intended production process.
