Week 8 - Challenge 2 - Switch Bezel Design

REPORT ON BRIEF EXPLAINATION ON TOOLING AXIS CREATION AND DRAFT ANALYSIS.

TOOLING AXIS CREATION-

FOR TOOLING AXIS CREATION FIRST GET THE FEASIBLE DIRECTION FOR TOOLING AXIS FOR THAT LOOK FOR A FLAT SURFACE OR HOLE. IN SWITCH BEZEL CASE THERE IS FLAT SURFACE.

FIRST CREATE A POINT ON THAT FLAT SURFACE AT CENTER OF SURFACE AND CREATE A AXIS SYSTEM ON THAT POINT.

THEN AFTER CREATE A SKETCH ON THAT POINT TAKING INTERSECTION OF CLASS A SURFACE THEN USING BISECTING LINE CREATING A DUMMY AXIS

..

ATER THAT TAKING INTER SECTION IN OTHER DIRECTION AND CREATE A SKETCH.

IN THE SECOND SKETCH THERE IS ONLY ONE SIDE IS AVAILABLE FOR CREATING A DUMMY AXIS SO CREAT A LINE HAVING A DRAFT OF 3 DEGREES.

ATER THIS BISECTING BOTH DUMMY AXIS CREATE MAIN TOOLING AXIS

.

AFTER THAT CREATE B SURFACE TAKING EXTRACT OF A SURFACE AND OFFSETING BY 2.5 MM AS IT IS THE REQUIRED THICKNESS AND TRIMING IT AS PER REQUIREMENT.

.

AFTER THAT CREATE A C SURFACE BY TAKING A SURFACE BOUNDARY AS REFARENCE AND BY USING SMOOTH CURVE MAKING BOUNDRY SMOOTH FOR AVOIDING THE VORTEX AND SWEEPING THE BOUNDRY IN TOOLING AXIS DIRECTION BY USING 3 DEGREE DRAFT.

AFTER THAT JOIN THE A AND C SURFACE AND TRIM B SUFACE USING JOIN OF A AND C SURFACE.

AFTER THAT USE CLOSE SURFACE COMMAND IN PART WORKBENCH TO MAKE IT SOLID.

DRAFT ANALYSIS.

FOR DRAFT ANALSYS FIRST SWITCH MATERIAL MODE THEN TAKE DRAFT ANALYSIS.

AFTER THAT CLICK ON COMPASS SIGN AND MOVE THE COMPASS ON TOOLING AXIS. AFTER THAT LOCK THE POSITION OF COMPASS CLICKING ON LOCK SIGN.

AFTER THAT CLICK ON ANY SURFACE THEN IT WILL SHOW THE COLORS.

IN ABOVE IMAGE THE BLUE FACE HAS DRAFT LESS THAN 3 DEGREE AND GREEN FACES HAS DRAFT MORE THAN 3 DEGREE.

TO MAKE BLUE FACE DRAFT MORE THAN 3 DEGREE NEED TO MAKE CHANGES IN TOOLING AXIS.

DUMMY AXIS 2 CHANGE THE ANGLE FROM 3 DEGREES TO 6 DEGREES.
