Week 10 - Challenge 1- Attachment Feature Creation (Ribs & Screw Boss)

1. Tooling axis refers to an imaginary axis that is used as a reference line for designing molds, dies, and other tooling component.
2. The tooling axis is defined by the designer based on the part geometry and the requirements of the manufacturing process.
3. The tooling axis is critical in the design of molds and dies because it determines the direction in which the mold or die will open and close, and it helps to ensure that the part will be ejected from the mold or die properly.
4. The tooling axis is also used to define the orientation of the part during the manufacturing process, such as during machining or injection molding.
5. The tooling axis can be created using the 2 bisecting lines where all the fases are visible for the normal view along the tooling axis,without any undercuts.
6. This allows the designer to define the start and end points of the tooling axis and to specify its orientation with respect to the part geometry.
7. By creating an accurate and efficient tooling axis, designers can ensure that their molds, dies, and other tooling components will perform optimally during the manufacturing process.

the tooling axis is taken directly by looking at all the directions form x, y, z. In this design when we look in the x direction the tooling axis will pass through all the surfaces.

By using the bisecting line using the 2 surface lines the main tooling axis is obtained which can be shown in the below Image
