Week 7 Challenge

Aim

To design mold for Car Door Bazel

Introduction

A mold is a hollowed out block that sets the shape of the product being made. It can be made of different materials, the most common of which are aluminum, steel, alloys and copper

Procedure

In this model there is no sufficient draft given for the sliders and this will damage the mold hence it is necessary to modify. Me considering as a Mold Engineer I will report this to the product design team to modify the part.

a)Here the tools I used under mold tools are draft analysis,parting line, shut off surface, split line.

b) Under direct editing move copy bodies,move face delete body, split ,combine, fillet.

C) under surfaces command
Ruled surface, offset surface,lofted surface, surface knit, surface cut.

d) under features
Extrude boss, extrude cut, hole wizard, sketch driven pattern.

e) others such as float ,mate,move component- Rotate component ,weldment, also working in assembly.

Given plastic component for which the mold has to to be designed

screenshots of the mold designed

Cavity

Cavity

Cavity- The cavity is the female part which forms external shape of molding.

Core along with the slider

Core and sliders

core-The core is the male part which forms the internal shape of molding.

Sliders

Sliders

Sliders-sliders are designed when there is presence of undercut in the plastic component

Conclusion

The mold for the given plastic component was designed successfully
