A two-piece molded fan assembly is produced having overlapping fan blades using an axial draw technique. The two halves are then removed from the mold and coupled together to form the two-piece fan. By molding the fan as two pieces, a fan blade can be produced that wraps around the outside of the housing and overlaps with each other in a quick and easy manner using a simple mold design. The two pieces are formed such that the a portion of each overlapping blade is formed on both halves of the assembly so that the die casting tool can be removed along a central axis defining the fan assembly without contacting the respective portion of the fan blades, therein greatly simplifying the manufacturing techniques.
