Tooling and prototyping
One point of contact from prototype tool to production mold. We match each program to the tooling that fits it best, drawing on what we have learned building and running tools since 1979.
Prove the part, then build for volume
Prototype tools
Fully functional single-cavity prototype tools, so you can test fit, function, and material with real molded parts.
Limited production
MUD (Master Unit Die) quick-change bases let prototype and bridge tools run in our presses for limited production while the production tool is built.
Production tooling
Straight injection and injection compression tooling, built to your volume and quality requirements, with fast turnaround.
Your tool, your choice
We manage the quote
We are not tied to one tool shop. We quote approved regional and global tool sources and manage the build, so you get a competitive tool and deal only with PRD.
Next door, when it fits
Our sister company, D&M Tool, runs a complete tool shop on our Springville campus. It is one of the sources we quote, and the natural choice when on-site turnaround and repair matter most.
Bring your own tool
Already have a tool? We run tools you supply in our presses.
Designed to be molded
Design for manufacturability and mold flow analysis start before the tool is built, so problems are found on screen, not in steel. The product design stays yours; we help make it moldable. See our engineering support.
