Week 8 - Challenge 1 - Base Bracket Design

REPORT ON DESIGNING OF BASE BRACKET PLASTIC COMPONENT:

AIM: Create the Base Bracket Plastic component through the given Class-A surface. To begin with, the tooling axis for the given Class-A Surface should be created meeting the requirements of the draft angle and at the end perform the Draft analysis on the model.

OBJECTIVE :

1. Creation of Tooling Axis.
2. Draft Analysis of Class A surface.
3. Creation of Class B and Class C surface.
4. Creating a solid part out of surface modelling.
5. Draft Analysis of Solid plastic componet.

CLASS A SURFACE

We get class A surface as a input

TOOLING AXIS

Create a tooling axis for draft analysis.Create a point at center of hole and then create a axis system at that point. Create a intersecting line along ZX plane on class A surface.

Then create the two lines along the intersection by taking the reference angle of the surface body, and create a new line by using the Bisecting command for creating the tooling axis.

this bisecting line act as a tooling axis.

DRAFT ANALYSIS OF A CLASS A SURFACE

Change the shading style to "shading with material". Select the Feature draft analysis. Select compass icon in draft analysis dialogue box and drag the compass and place it on tooling axis and select lock draft direction option. Swith to quick analysis mode to see whether the surfaces are passed draft angles or not.

CREACTION OF CLASS B AND CLASS C SURFACE

Extract the faces,ofset it with required tickeness and expolite and trim them according to the shape we reuired.

to create Class C surface we have extracted the boundry of Class A using multi-extract and then converted to smooth curve.Now this smooth curve is swept along the draft direction with a 3deg draf.

Then we have trim the above shown surface with the Class B surface using trim feature.

then we get the required solid plastic component by convert closed surface model to solid model using closed surface option in part design.

DRAFT ANALYSIS OF SOLID PLASTIC COMPONET.

Created of Tooling Axis.

Draft Analysis of Class A surface is done .

Created of Class B and Class C surface .

Created a solid part out of surface modelling.

Draft Analysis of Solid plastic componet done.
