Week 8 - Challenge 1 - Base Bracket Design

AIM - Design Base Bracket Plastic component through the given Class- A SURFACE

Design Procedure :

• Creating tooling Axis In class- A
• To perform draft analysis
• To create B surface
• To create C surface
• To create solid part

Creating a tooling axis in Class - A Surface

• The Direction in which the mould open and closes in the tolling axis.
• check the conectivity of surface and ensure there will be no gap between the surfaces and the define the tolling axis .
• while creating the tolling axis give the tooling axis on a flat length surface or the surface which have a hole on it.
• create a point on the surface where are going to create the dummy tooling axis and using line command create an axis .if there is a circle or flat length surface is recommended.

Draft Analysis :

• minimum draft ngle is considered as 3 degree.
• enter part in catia.
• go to material mode.
• go to draft analysis
• drag axis bar to the tooling axis
• chech the draft and make parting lineas per analysis.

OUTPUT :

TOOLING AXIS:
