Week 8 - Challenge 1 - Base Bracket Design

Base Bracket Design

Aim: To create a Base Bracket Plastic Component through a given Class A Surface and perform Draft Analysis on the final plastic component.

Objectives:

• Creation of Tooling Axis.
• Creation of Class B and Class C surface.
• Creating a solid part out of surface modelling.
• Draft Analysis of Class A surface and final plastic component.

Tool Used: CATIA V5

Introduction: In this project we are designing a base bracket using given class A surface. The approach includes creation of Class B surface keeping 2.5mm thickness in mind for the complete component. The design also included Class C creation from the given parent surface.

Constraints:

• NO CHANGES IN CLASS A ARE ALLOWED.
• PART THICKNESS CANT DEVIATE BY MORE THAN ±">±±30%
• ALL DESIGN RULES SHOULD BE STRICTLY FOLLOWED.
• ALL SURFACES SHOULD BE CLOSED BEFORE CONVERTING TO SOLID.
• ALL FACES SHOULD MEET THE ALLOWED DRAFT REQUIREMENTS.

CLASS A: Following surface is given as the input for the component creation.
