Week 8 - Challenge 1 - Base Bracket Design

perform the Draft analysis using the Featured Draft Analysis tool in the tools.Then after opening the draft analysis tool box go for the compass and place the compass alinged to tooling axis and click on the lock symbol after alinging and further click on the surface.

TOOLING AXIS CREATION

The tooling axis is nothing but the mould opens or cavity opens.Check visaully which is the best possible tooling axis.Check all three axis.Along x it possible but expensive and y is not possible z is the best possible tooling axis.Therefore the main tooling axis is along z axis

Bisecting method is used to find the proper tooling axis using the dummy tooling axis. In Bisecting method, bisecting line is used which either bisect the two line or it will show error which means the two lines are parallel to each other. In order to know whether the particular surface is toolable or not we intersect the surface with the respective plane and get a sketch which consist of two lines and with the help of bisecting line option we bisect the line which creates a line at the mid point of the two lines. Like wise we create tooling clearing axis for x and y which will be used to create the main tooling axis using the bisecting line option in in the line comand.
