Week 4 Challenge
Tooling axis: The direction in which the mold or core and cavity opens is the tooling axis
Tooling Axis creation:
Using the tooling axis created along x and y-axis, these tooling axes are used for creation of tooling axis by bisecting method where the two lines and point will be selected as inputs.
Draft Analysis:
Draft analysis is done after determining the tooling axis, draft analysis is used to check whether the minimum draft (3 degrees) is maintained or not.
Compass is used to define the draft direction.
If the minimum draft 3 degree is provided the whole component changes in to green colour.
- Create B surface of the given lens in surface modeling (not in part), with a 4 mm thickness
FINALY SOLID BODY DRAFT ANALYSIS
Finally the Class – A, B&C surfaces with the Tooling Direction have been Published and the Switch Bezel is moved on to the designing of the next operation – the creation of B-side features.
3 Write the definition of the Parting line
The parting line is where the two halves of the mold meet around the parameter of the part. All parting lines need to seal properly when the mold is clamped in a molding machine
