1. CREATING TOOLING AXIS -

The Tooling Direction is basically the direction that the mold pulls a part. The mold is built in two separate pieces, basically. You have a Cavity side and you have the Core side. The Core pulls apart from the Cavity and that's the Dye line or the Tooling Direction.

Open the given CAT part file.

Check for gaps between surfaces for that click on join and then preview.
If theres any gap between the surfaces join them with a maximum tolerance of 0.003 mm.

Extract the boundary and dissemble the boundary.
Find the correct tooling axis where the material don't interfere with the tooling axis and all the elements can be created.
Create an axis system using at the centre of the switch Bezel.

Intersect the yz plane with respect to the class A surface.
Hide the class A surface and create point to point lines on the suspected drafts.
Create bisecting line with the two lines and point to create a tooling axis.
BISECTING LINES were used to get the exact medium from the two sides so that maximum positive draft angle can be achieved.
