Custom Injection Molded Clips for OEM Assembly

Midwest Molding supports custom molded clips and related components for OEM assembly programs. Available capabilities include straight injection molding, insert and composite molding, overmolding, two-shot molding, and multi-component assembly. The appropriate process depends on the clip’s design, materials, inserts, assembly requirements, and production objectives. Project engineers can support evaluation from tooling through production.

Yes. Midwest Molding provides cradle-to-grave project management for prototype and production tool design and build. Tooling support includes mold flow analysis, ES testing, dedicated project engineering, and part reformulation for cost-saving opportunities. The team can coordinate tooling development with molding and production requirements for complex molded components and OEM assembly programs.

Insert and overmolding injects plastic over pre-existing parts, substrates, or inserts to create multi-component assemblies. For custom clips, this process can help integrate materials or components into a consolidated part. Midwest Molding supports this work with dedicated equipment, quality control systems, project engineering, and manufacturing capabilities for automotive, electronics, and consumer goods applications.

Yes. Two-shot molding is available as part of Midwest Molding’s injection molding capabilities. It enables multiple materials or colors to be molded together in a single cycle, which can support complex component designs and integrated features. The company provides project management from tooling design through production ramp-up, with manufacturing and project engineers supporting the program.

Yes. Midwest Molding provides multi-component assembly services that combine injection molded parts with additional components into complete assemblies. Support includes cradle-to-grave project management, error proofing, and redesign optimization intended to reduce costs while maintaining part functionality and quality. Assembly work is supported by dedicated project engineering and end-of-arm tooling.
