Door Arm Rest Week 8 Challenge

1) Objectives

*) To create a door arm rest using given Class A surface & thickening it.

2) Requirements

i) Tooling Axis

*) This component cannot be cleared in one tooling axis as it has ribs on its body which are parallel to main tooling axis.

*) Hence it also requires a side core tooling axis.

ii) Class A Surface

iii) Thichness as given 2.5mm.

3) Procedure

A) Creation of Tooling axis

*) Tooling Axis are created using compass direction method.

*) First create a dummy axeses, do draft analysis of Class A surface along those axeses.

*) If Draft analysis is Ok lock that compass along dummy tooling axeses & create main tooling axis along compass direction.

B) Creation of Class B surface

*) Create a class B surface by offsetting Class A surface and using various commands.

*) The following is the image of Class B surface

C) Creation of Class C Surface

*) Create a Class C Surface by extracting the boundary of Class A Surface and using sweep and different commands.

*) i,e Swept along draft axis (Tooling axis) and give draft angle to the surface, swept with reference surface, etc.

*) Following is the image of Class C Surface.

D) Draft Analysis

*) Since he entire component cannot be cleared with one tooling axis and it reqiures side core also the draft analysis is done along both the axeses.

*) Check whether the draft analysis for the surfaces is Ok along respective tooling axeses

*) The following are the images of the draft analysis of door arm rest along main & side core tooling axeses.

*) Finally create a solid body using closed surface.

4) Conclusion

*) The created plastic component meeting draft analysis and can be cleared with two tooling axeses.

*) Below are the images of final plastic component in diffrent view modes.
