Project 1
- The given model of table fan base was analysed and scaled as per its shrinkage value.
- Parting line and parting surfaces were created after creating shut off surfaces at holes.
- Now the part is taken into the new assembly to create core and cavity block.
- In assembly two new parts are created from Assembly-->Insert Components-->New part and renamed as Core & Cavity. Both the parts are saved externally by right clicking and selecting save option.
- Core part is selected and edit part option was used to create the core block.
- Sketch was made on the top plane to create 2D and 3D surfaces of the core block.
- Extrude command is used to create the inner 3D part.
- After that offset surface of the core surface in first part was created. This is made to create the 3D surface cut.
- Now with the help of cut with surface command Core surface cut was made.
- Required color was given and saved.
- Similarly, cavity block was made by following the same steps as of core block.
- Thus core and cavity block was created. Sliders are to be created because of the undercuts in base part.
- Sketch profile of slider was made using convert entities on the created plane.
- Using split command from direct editing, Sketch and plane was selected. Cut bodies was used to cut the slider part.
- Slot hole profile was created on the sketch profile using convert entities and then extrude command.
- Keeping cavity part hidden changes in slider was made. Slider length and width was altered as required.
- wedge was made at the slider end keeping 30 deg angle and length 1/3rd.
- Slider copy was made using direct editing menu. And then using combine menu shape of slider was made by subtracting the copy of slider with main core body.
- Slider part was made into separate part file by using insert into new part file command.
- Since separate part file was made the slider block in core part was deleted using delete block from direct editing menu.
- Core block was saved and cavity block was edited as per slider block by importing the slider block into core part and then subtracting it.
- Now the assembly file was opened and new part was created in the name of slider. In that new part the slider was imported and saved externally.
- fillets was given in the slider block and correspondingly in core & cavity block.
- Now another new part file was created in assembly and renamed as washers1. Washers was made as required in the washer part file and saved externally.
- Locking mechanism was made in core part and small grove was also made in slider block.
- With the help of same steps another slider, washer and locking mechanism was made at another side.
