Product design
Turn an idea into a production-ready design.
Develop the form, function and detail of your product with manufacturing in mind. One engineering conversation from the first concept to the final specification.
PLASTIC INJECTION MOULDING / LEICESTER
From design
to finished product.
Rugby Plastics brings product development, tooling, moulding, assembly and testing together. Our Leicester team helps you discuss the manufacturing requirements of your project.

Get hands-on with your next iteration.
Move from the screen to a physical prototype. Use additive manufacturing to evaluate design ideas and keep development moving.
Soft tooling & prototyping
Make it. Test it. Move forward with confidence.
Prove fit and function before committing to production tooling. Explore prototype and soft tooling options around your project, material and expected volumes.
Design for manufacturing
Better parts start before the tool.
Bring the manufacturing questions into the design process early. We review geometry, material choice and assembly requirements to help turn a promising concept into a mouldable part.
Project management
A clear route from first brief to production.
Keep the engineering, tooling and manufacturing stages connected. A coordinated project approach helps surface decisions and maintain momentum.
Robotic cells
Consistency, built into the process.
Bring automation into moulding and assembly where it adds value. Robotic cells support repeatable handling and a considered production process.
Assembly & testing
The finished part is only the beginning.
Connect precision moulding with assembly and advanced product testing. Deliver an integrated product, with the end application always in view.
Planning a manufacturing project
What should I provide for an initial discussion?
Share your part design, intended use, preferred material if known, expected volumes and any assembly or testing requirements. The project upload page accepts STL, STEP and ZIP files of components.
