Week 8 - Challenge 1 - Base Bracket Design

                                                                                    Base Bracket Design

Introduction:

   To create a Base Bracket Plastic part through a given category. A Surface and perform a Draft Analysis on the ultimate plastic part. In this project, we tend to square measure planning a base bracket victimization given category A surface. The approach includes the creation of a sophisticated B surface keeping a 2.5 mm thickness in mind for the entire part. The design conjointly enclosed category C creation from the given parent surface. 

Tooling Axis:

Material Chooses:

• Polyethylene terephthalate (PETE), is the chemical name for polyester.
• PETE is a clear, strong, and lightweight plastic Material.

Class A:

• Class A surface it will already design by an automotive designer.
• It describes the final product surface for the aesthetic parts of the car. 
• The portion with which other materials first interact.

Class B:

• Class B surfaces are the secondary surfaces.
• The surface is designed by a plastic designer.
• The Class B surface is not visible outside.
• Most of the ejection of plastic part marks are not visible on the class A surface.

Class C:

• The Class C finishing of more imperfections than Class A or B.
• Closing the Class A and Class B surface components.

Draft Analysis:

•  It is used to analyze whether our part model created in CAD is manufacturable based on the draft condition applied.
• It will help you gather the draft angle on multiple surfaces without the need for manual measurements.
• Draft Analysis is applicable for 3D part models.

Objectives: 

• Creation of Class A Surface.
• Creating of Tooling Axis.
• Design of B surface and design of C surfaces.
• Joining both the A, B, and C Class Surfaces.
• Draft Analysis of A character and final plastic element.

Tool Used:

• CATIA V5
• In this project, we tend to square measure planning a base bracket victimization given category A surface.
• The approach includes the creation of a sophisticated B surface keeping a 2.5 mm thickness in mind for the entire part.
• The design conjointly enclosed category C creation from the given parent surface. 

Constraints:

• No changes in Class A area units are Allowed.
• Part thickness can't deviate by an additional than ±30%
• All styling rules ought to be strictly followed.
• All Surfaces ought to be closed before changing to solid parts.
• All faces ought to meet the allowed draft necessities.
