11. SWITCH BEZEL DESIGN IN CATIA.

STEPS INVOLVED IN SWITCH BEZEL DESIGN

STEP 1. CHECK CONTINUITY OF SURFACE

I. USING BOUNDRY METHOD

II. USING JOIN METHOD

III. AND ALSO USING VISUAL INSPECTION IT IS CLEARLY SEEN THE INTEGRITY OF THE SURFACE IS OK SO WE

GO TO NEXT STEP.

STEP-2: FINDING TOOLING DIRECTION & IT'S CREATION.

1. THE TOOLING AXIS IS THE DIRECTION IN WHICH THE MOULD OPENS & CLOSES. THE FIRST OPTION IS TO GO WITH

CHECKING VISUALLY, OR YOU CAN CREATE A TOOLING AXIS IN A HOLE DIRECTION OR TO A NORMAL SURFACE.

2.BISECTING METHOD IS BASICALLY USED TO FIND THE PROPER TOOLING AXIS USING THE DUMMY TOOLING AXIS. IN THIS

METHOD, BISECTING LINE IS USED WHICH EITHER BISECTS THE TWO LINE OR IT WILL SHOW ERROR WHICH MEANS THE

TWO LINES ARE PARALLEL TO EACH OTHER. IN ORDER TO KNOW WHETHER THE PARTICULAR SURFACE IS TOOL ABLE OR

INTERSECT THE SURFACE WITH THE RESPECTIVE PLANE AND GET A SKETCH THAT CONSISTS OF TWO LINES AND WITH

THE HELP OF BISECTING LINE OPTION WE BISECT THE LINE WHICH CREATES A LINE AT THE MIDPOINT OF TWO

LINES. LIKEWISE, WE CREATE TOOLING CLEARING AXIS FOR X & Y WHICH WILL BE USED TO CREATE THE MAIN TOOLING

AXIS USING THE BISECTING LINE OPTION.
