Week 8 - Challenge 1 - Base Bracket Design

TOOLING AXIS IS USED TO GET A PROPER MOLD DIRECTION.

INCORRECT TOOLING AXIS REPRESENTS INCORECTION MOULDING PROCEDURE RESULTING IN DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS.

BEFORE WE HAVE TO ANALYZE IN WHICH DIRECTION THE COMPONENT IS EASIER TO MOULD AND MOST OF THE AREAS ARE VISIBLE.

IDENTIFY AREAS OF COMPONENT WHICH CAUSE ERROR IN TOOLING.

FIRST WE CREATE DUMMY TOOLING AXIS BECAUSE WE STILL DONT KNOW THE DIRECTION.

CREATE A PLANE ALONG Z DIRECTION ON SURFACE.

INTESECT THE PLANE WITH THE SOLID BODY.

BOUNDARIES OF FORMED.

FROM THE BOUNDARIES HAVING NUMEROUS POINTS. FIND 2 POINTS EQUIDISTANT TO DUMMY TOOLING AXIS.

CREATE LINE USING 2 PONTS ON BOTH SIDES OF DUMMY TOOLING AXIS AND USING BISECTION METHOD IN LINE COMMAND WE GET A NEW LINE WHICH IS THE ACTUAL TOOLING AXIS IN THE Z DIRECTION.

THE USE 0F TOOLING AXIS IS IN DRAFT ANALYSIS

BEFORE DRAFING ANALYSIS CUSTOMIZE THE SURFACE WITH CUSTOMIZE VIEW PARAMETERS AND FURTER WITH MATERIAL SELECTION.

INSER < ANALYSYS < FEATURE DRAFT ANALYSYIS.

SELECT COMPASS AND DRAG IT TO TOOLING AXIS

GO TO QUICK ANALYSIS MODE AND CLICK ON THE MATERIAL.

COLORS LIKE GREEN RED AND BLUE IS VISIBLE WITH VARIOUS DRAFT ANGLES

GREEN COLUR REPRESENTS DRAFR ANGLES ARE GOOD

PUBLICATIONS OF TOOLING AXIS CLASS A B & C ARE DONE.
