Week 8 - Challenge 1 - Base Bracket Design

AIM :

TO CREATE THE BASE BRACKET PLASTIC COMPONENT THROUGHT THE GIVEN CLASS A SURFACE

Thickness of Plastic Part - 2.5 mm

THE GIVEN CLASS A SURFACE:

CREATING TOOLING AXIS:

CREATED A POINT ON THE CENTRE HOLE AND CREATED A LINE WITH THE REFRENCE OF THE POINT ALONG Z DIRECTION

AND WITH INTERSECTION COMMAND GOT THE BOUNDARY WITH RESPECT TO IT THE SIDE OF THE BOUNDARY CREATED TWO LINES AND CREATED THE BISCETING LINE WITH REFERNCE TO THE LINES AND USING DRAFT ANALYSIS COMMAND MOVED THE COMPASS TOWARDS THE BISCETING AND PLACED AND CREATED THE TOOLING AXIS

CREATING CLASS B:

ONCE THE DRAFT ANALYSIS AND TOOLING AXIS IS OVER NOW CREATION OF CLASS B

WITH RESPECTIVE CLASS A SURFACE

EXTRACTING THE CLASS A SURFACE WITH NO PROPOGATION AND EXTRAPOLATING INORDER TO INCREASE THE LENGTH

AND OFFSETTING IT TO 2.5MM IT IS THE REQUIRED THCIKNESS OF THE MATERIAL

AND TRIMMING THE SURFACE AND THE CLASS B SURFACE IS CREATED

CREATION OF CLASS C:

ONCE THE CLASS B IS CREATED NOW USING CLASS A SURFACE AS REFRENCE AND CREATING THE BOUNDARY OF IT AND USING TOOLING AXIS AND BOUNDARY OF THE CLASS A WITH HELP OF SWEEP COMMAND WE ARE GETTING THE DESIRED SHAPE OF IT

ONCE IT IS DONE USING CLASS B AND SWEEP OUTPUT WITH HELP OF TRIM COMMAND THE CLASS C SURFACE IS BEEN CREATED

AND SWITCHING TO PART WORKBENCH USING CLOSE SURFACE IT IS BEEN CREATED

RESULT:

WITH THE HELP OF THE CLASS A THE DESIRED OUTOUT IS DONE WITH USING CATIA V5 AND IMAGES AND PART CAT FILE HAS BEEN ATTACHED FOR REFERENCE
