Week 12 Challenge
AIM
Is to create a proper ejection system with ejector pins and plates, runner and gate system, air vents and cooling channels for the mold.
PROCEDURE FOR EJECTOR SYSTEM
- For creating Ejector Pin first create a Plane using Reference Geomentry option and use circle profile to create circles and cut it using Extruded Cut option.
- Using the same circle sketch and use Extruded Boss/Base option to extrude the circle for creating Ejector Pins.
- For Relief create a circle using circle profile option and cut it using Cut Extruded option.
- For creating a D-Pin Head create a circle and line sketch using circle profile and line and Use Trim option to remove some areas and extrude using Extruded Boss/Base option.
- For creating Ejector Plate create a rectangle sketch using rectangle profile option and extrude using Extruded Boss/Base option.
- For creating Ejector Back Plate create a rectangle sketch using rectangle profile option and extrude using Extruded Boss/Base option.

PROCEDURE FOR RUNNER AND GATE
- First create a circle using circle profile option and cut it using Cut Extruded option.
- Again create a circle using circle profile option and cut it using Cut Extruded option and give some draft.
- In core near the spure create a circle using circle profile option and cut it using Cut Extruded option.
- For creating a Runner create a line sketch and extrude using Extruded Boss/Base option and in that use thickness option and give draft by using Draft option and give some fillets using Fillet option.
- For creating a Gate create a line sketch and extrude using Extruded Boss/Base option and give draft by using Draft option give some fillets using Fillet option.
- Finally join the Runner and Gate using Combine option in that use add option and Sub it using Combine option.
