Project 1
Steps followed for Creating the Mold:-
Draft Analysis
Scale (Assumed Material as ABS which has a shrinkage of 0.6% so shrinkage value was 1.006)
Parting Line
Shut-off Surface
Parting Surface using planar surface
Core and Cavity Surfaces
Core and Cavity Blocks in assembly
Firstly create an outer block then split it with an inner block after that remove the unwanted block and combine the outer blocks with the inner blocks.
Steps Followed after creating Core and Cavity Blocks:-
The component has undercut on both sides so there is a need for sliders
Then Created a Slider Block
Edit Cavity Block to match with the slider block
Save Slider as a Separate part file
Edit Core Block to match with the slider block
Given A relief of 2mm in core and cavity blocks to avoid the friction between cavity, core, and sliders.
Steps Followed after Editing the blocks:-
Ejector Pins created through the bottom of the Core block
Also, the Ejector plate and Ejector backplate are created at an approximated height so that the ejector pins can eject the actual object to be molded.
