Week 8 - Challenge 1 - Base Bracket Design

REPORT OF BASE BRACKET

Aim:

To create the Base Bracket of Plastic Component through a given input Class A Surface and Tooling axis to Draft Analysis on the A surface and final plastic component.

REPORT:

BASE BRACKET:

Class A Surface:

• This is a Input Surface to make a Solid part of a Plastic Component, This is the base to make a plastic body.
• To continue with the design process first we need to find out the tooling axis for the surface and check for all the drafts using the Draft Analysis tool in CATIA.
• And Publicize the A surface.

Tooling Axis:

• Create a point with the ‘circle/ sphere/ ellipse’ reference and make it as Isolate and double click on the point change explicit to coordinates.
• Create a Line - Point To Direction click on the point and take a reference as Z axis and give some color and make it a dashed line.
• Take a draft analysis with A surface in positive it’s fully green.
• And same thing check with Final analysis in finished solid component it’s seems little deviation in blue color that’s fine.
• And Publicate the Tooling Axis.

Class B Surface:

• Offset the A Surface And Untrim it after extrapolate it and give the fillet radius measure from A surface or Intersect the A surface to Find it to apply the 3mm + 2.5mm of the length.
• Then Publicize the B-Surface.

Class C Surface:

• Unhide the A Surface to Take a boundary as a reference to make C surface.
• Go to sweep line-> with draft direction 3 deg draft angle downward outside.
• And Same thing to do for the 2 holes.
• Join all of them to make C Surface.
• Then Publicize it.

Final trim:

• Take a Joined part C Surface And B Surface to Trim unwanted surfaces to make it as a Solid part.
• Then Analyze the Draft with the final part It Seems little Deviation in blue that’s fine.
• Publicize it.

Part Body:

• Take the final trim to a solid component and took a Draft Analysis it seems little deviation.
• Then publicize it.

Conclusion:

The Given procedure of the report is Done Properly.
