Week 4 Challenge

1.TOOLING DIRECTION:

Tooling direction is the main consideration for plastic parts and mold parts because it defines the movement of mold parts and the possibility of the plastic part coming out from the mold part (Core and Cavity).

• In Molding, machine arrangement is given to open the mold along a direction which is known as Tooling Direction.
• In other words. The mold is built from two separate halves (Core and Cavity) and tooling direction basically defines the direction of mold pulls apart.
• The tooling direction is known as the primary direction.

2.Create tooling direction for Class A with 10 deg draft ( draft in command should be 10 deg) and show the draft analysis.

First, have to create a point and axis system in the given Class A surface of the lens. Then create a dummy line with respect to a point and x direction and analyze the draft direction.If the draft analysis is not satisfied, then create another line from the dummy tooling axis with an angle of 10 degrees.

3.The Parting line:

A parting line, in the industrial casting of molds, is the borderline in which draft angles change direction. One can check the parting line in the mold or product which divides the two half, i.e; the core and the cavity of a molded part. It is sometimes a starting point for the mold parting surface.
