Custom Injection Molded Enclosures

Injection molds are used to form plastic materials into repeatable parts and components. In enclosure manufacturing, molds can create housing sections, covers, structural features, and integrated component designs. The mold is developed around the part requirements, material approach, and production goals. Midwest Molding supports tooling design and build, mold flow analysis, prototype and production tools, and part re-formulation for cost-saving opportunities.

Yes. Midwest Molding provides injection molding capabilities for complex plastic components and assemblies, including straight injection molding, two-shot molding, insert and composite molding, pre-mold and overmolding, and multi-component assembly. The appropriate approach depends on the enclosure design, material combination, inserts, functional requirements, and desired assembly configuration.

Yes. Midwest Molding provides cradle-to-grave project management for prototype and production tool design and build. Support includes mold flow analysis, ES testing, part re-formulation for cost-saving opportunities, and dedicated project engineering for complex molded components. Tooling support is available for automotive, electronics, and consumer goods applications.

Two-shot molding produces complex components with multiple materials or colors molded together in a single cycle. This can support enclosure designs that require integrated material features or a combined multi-material appearance. Midwest Molding’s manufacturing and project engineers support the program from tooling design through production ramp-up.

Overmolding involves injecting plastic material over pre-existing parts, substrates, or inserts to create a multi-component assembly. It can be used when a molded enclosure or component must integrate another part or substrate into the finished design. Midwest Molding provides pre-mold and overmolding with dedicated equipment and quality control systems.

Yes. Insert and composite molding combines materials through injection molding to create complex components. This approach can support enclosure or housing designs that require an inserted part or another material within the molded component. Midwest Molding provides project management, tooling support, and process optimization for these programs.

Yes. Midwest Molding provides cradle-to-grave project management for prototype and production tooling and supports production ramp-up for two-shot molding programs. Project engineering can assist with tooling, mold flow analysis, part re-formulation, dedicated manufacturing cells, quality assurance, and process optimization as a program moves toward production.
