Week 12- Final project
Aim
To create the CAD model of side door trim panel from given class A surface.
Objective
1) creation of side door trim panel from a given class A surface. apply thickness and engineering features to the door trim panel.
2) Creation of flanges and heat stakes followed by the master section.
3) Creation of dog house and assemble the push clip with the same.
4) Preforming the draft analysis for easy manufacturability and smooth ejection of final part from the core.
Steps for creation of new plastic designing
1) Creation of tooling axis
2) Draft analysis of class A surface.
3) Creation of class B surface.
4) Creation of class C surface.
5) Creation of closed surface and solidify them.
6) Draft analysis of final product
7) Creation of engineering features like, flanges, screw boss, heat stakes, dog house, 4 way locator and 2 way locator etc..
8) Draft analysis of engineering features.
Components
1) Arm rest
2) Lower substrate
3) Upper substrate
4) Map pocket
