Week 8 - Challenge 1 - Base Bracket Design
Objective:
The main objective of this challenge is to create the Base Bracket Plastic component through the above-given Class-A surface, by giving the 'Tooling axis' and 'Draft analysis' to the class-A surface of the base bracket.
TOOLING AXIS:
The direction in which the mold or core and cavity opens is the tooling axis. The tool axis is a rotated an Angle 1 about the x-axis, then rotated an Angle 2 about the y-axis
DRAFT ANALYSIS:
The draft analysis technique is used to analyze whether our part model created in CAD is manufacturable based on the draft condition applied. Here the part should get easily removed from the panel dies (in case of Sheet metal part) or Mold (in case of plastic).

SURFACE A TO B CONVERSION OF PLASTC DESING:
If we directly offset the class A surface, fillets may lead to cause an error, to avoid the errors we need to extract the surfaces and untrim the extracted surfaces and extrapolate those untrimmed surfaces with point continuity. Now trim those extrapolated surfaces to the required shape. And finally, fillets were given to the final trim.
