Week 8 - Challenge 1 - Base Bracket Design

Objective

To 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.

The Way of Creating the Tooling Axis

Need to take center of the surface for a Tooling axis. So, here i took the big hole which is meet at all surface in a single point which is easy to create a tooling axis. By the uses of that hole i created bountry, then i created point with the help of point command(Point definition = circle =point).By the uses of point i created plane with the help of Plane command(Plane Definition = point + yz plane).

Then i created intersect line on surface by using that plane with the help of intersect commmand(intersect definition = surface + plane) as shown in figure 2.

Then i created a line on each side of the inclined line with the help of line command(line definition = point to point) as shown in firgure 3. By the uses of two line i created a bisecting line with the help of line command(line definition = bisecting = line 1 & line 2) as shown in firgure 4.

Draft Analysis

Draft Analysis is used to analyze whether our part model created in CAD is manufacturable based on the draft condition applied.
