Week 8 - Challenge 2 - Base Bracket Design

REPORT ON TOOLING AXIS :

AS THE GIVEN COMPONENT HAS RIBS WITH APPROPRIATE ANGLES AND UNDERCUTS IN THE X-DIRECTION AND Y-DIRECTION , ITS DIFFICULT TO CREATE MOULD OPENING IN THE RESPECTIVE DIRECTIONS, WHICH RESULT IN THE HIGHER MOULD COST. IF THE MOULD IS OPENED IN THE Z-DIRECTION ALL THE COMPONENT IS COVERED.

I CREATED TWO LINES ALONG THE RIB FACES, AND A POINT ON THE CENTER OF THE HOLE, FINALLY CREATED A BISECTING LINE THROUGH POINT AND TWO LINES, WHICH WOULD BE THE DIRECTION OF THE TOOLING AXIS , THAT IS OPENING OF THE MOULD.

REPORT ON DRAFT ANALYSIS:

AS THE COMPONENT HAS AN APPROPRIATE ANGLES I HAVE GIVEN 5 DEGREE , IT IS SHOWING GREEN COLOUR AND BLUE COLOUR FOR NEGATIVE DRAFT.
