Week 8 - Challenge 2 - Base Bracket Design

Base Bracket Design

Objective: In this project, our main objective is to find the draft angle of the component with the help of draft analysis and we complete the project step by step.

DRAFT: The draft is something that allows the component to release or eject from the mold properly. The draft is required on all parts in the direction of mold movement in order to allow parts to release properly. Most parts or applications require a minimum of 1/2 to 1 degree, however, 3 degrees is widely accepted as the norm.

The draft is given in the direction of the tooling direction or core cavity opening.

If we don't give the draft to the component it strick to the mold and friction also act so we get the damage in our part so to overcome this we give some draft angle to overcome this problem.

Step to do Analysis

• first, we upload the screen data which we get from the styling surface this surface is called A-Surface.
• We take the point in the A-surface and take the axis and intersect the surface and axis with the help of the intersection command.
• Then we use the line command and row two line in our model where we have a given angle surface and use another line command used as bisecting and select both lines and we get the new line in the direction where we want to choose our tooling direction.
• then we go to insert in insect select analysis and select feature draft analysis and click there and then analyze the model first select the direction and locked and click on the surface and we get the result in color as well as the data value.

Surfaces

• Surface B: Surface B is like when we give the thickness of the surface this is called surface B.
• Surface C: Surface C is the surface that joins the two surfaces this is called surface C.
