Week 8 - Challenge 2 - Base Bracket Design

AIM: To create the base bracket,plastic component through the given Class A surface.To create the tooling axis for the given class A surface and perform the draft analysis on the model.

Draft analysis:

Draft analysis is a method of checking the draft angle on various faces of a part with a particular direction.The Draft Analysis command enables you to detect if the part you drafted will be easily removed. This type of analysis is performed based on color ranges identifying zones on the analyzed element where the deviation from the draft direction at any point, corresponds to specified values.

Tooling axis:

Tooling axis defines the mold or core and cavity direction,we should create the tooling axis in such a way so that it should cover most of features,holes and geometry.we will check the suitable direction of the tooling axis through the visual inspection along x,y,z axis.

We are going to intersect the class A body with YZ plane so that we can use the line of intersection to create tooling axis with bisecting method.

Conclusion:

Thus the class B and class C is made out of Class A surface and performed draft analysis on the model.
