Exploded Navigator Foot showing high grade plastic moulded components

Navigator Foot - moulded parts supplied by Rediweld Technical Moulding

Blatchford Products, Navigator Foot

Over many years the relationship between Rediweld Technical Moulding and Blachford, a leader in artificial limb components, has grown though the supply of both plastics and rubber parts.

The new Navigator Foot uses an advanced development of the well established Multiflex ankle joint. Rediweld has been involved throughout the project, initially with prototype and mould tooling to test and refine the components. We then provided multi-cavity production moulding tooling required for a complex rubber to metal bonding process.

We work in close partnership with our customer to maintain their technical lead and help bring new products to market quickly.

Moulded parts supplied to BAE systems defence procurement

Archerfish Moulded Parts in high grade engineering plastics

BAE Systems, Archerfish

Rediweld has been closely involved in the supply of plastic moulded parts and assemblies for the Archerfish Mine Disposal System. This began as the product went from the development phase into full production and aluminium components were being converted to moulding and assembled plastics.

We provided technical support by 3D modelling of moulded components and assemblies, recommending moulding materials and reducing the number of parts. We project managed the manufacture of 14 tools, which were available 4 weeks ahead of schedule. Our relationship is on going with both Procurement, as production increases and Engineering, as more parts are converted.
