Week 8 - Challenge 1 - Base Bracket Design

Base bracket:

Tooling axis creation :

The direction in which the mold or core and cavity opens is called as tooling axis. Tooling axis is created by using bisecting method.

Step1:

The intersection is created directly in a sketch by using intersection option, were created by simply using intersection tool

Step 2:

The lines are drawn by taking the intersection lines as references. Just make sure to select the two points as a line type.

Step 3:

The two lines were drawn by simply selecting the two points.

Step 4:

The tooling axis is created by using the line tool, just make sure that to select the bisection option as a line type.

Step 5:

Bisecting lines are drawn by simply selecting the lines which are drawn above and the middle point.

Draft analysis :

The draft analysis technique is used to analyze whether our part model created in CAD is manufacturable based on the draft condition applied. Steps to do draft analysis.

Step1:

Enter the cad part

Step2:

Go to material mode and select material

Step3:

Go to draft analysis, for further analysis.

Step4 :

Create the tooling axis for the given part.

Step5 :

Drag the columbus to the tooling axis and measure the angle for the given part for manufacturing.

Draft analysis when the degree is correct:

Draft analysis when the Degree doesnt satisfy:

Draft analysis after the close surface :
