Week 7 Challenge

AIM:

Create the core-cavity, slider blocks for the given component

PROCEDURE

STEP-1: Deciding the tooling direction

STEP-2: Scaling the model

Increased the model size by 0.6% to account shrinkage because ABS material shrinkage % is 0.6%

calculation

(0.6/100)+1 = 1.006

so 1.006 is the scaling value

STEP-3: Creating parting line

It is a core & cavity separating line or core and cavity meets at this line

STEP-4: Creating sutt-off surface

To close the holes and to create the core cavity surfaces

STEP-5: Creating the parting surfce

Surface which separates the core and cavity into 2 blocks in a mould

STEP-6: Creating core and cavity surfaces

Merge the parting surface with core and cavity surfaces

core surface

cavity surface

STEP-7: Creating core and cavity blocks

create the cuboid and cut with the respective core and cavity surfaces to get the blocks.

Edit the core block to ma

CORE

Edited the core block to match the slider block.

Created guide rails in core block.

Make a cut in the core block for bolts.

CAVITY

SLIDER

Slider block is needed to accomodate the finger cam & washers
using split command sepereted the slider profile from cavity block
create the slot like feature in the component to make he hole in the part.
filled the gap in the slider
40 mm slider is enough,cuted out the remaining.
created slider block in such a way that it shouldn't itersect with the component by providing suitable gap allowance
created wedge to properly interlock with the cavity block.
crated the guide rails in the slider block.
appropriate fillets are given
by calculating slider travel distance made a cut for locking mechanism.
saved the slider separately and added in the assembly

WASHERS AND BOLT

CONCLUSION

Created the core,cavity block & slider with proper dimensions for the given door bezel model given
