Week 8 - Challenge 2 - Switch Bezel Design

Create the Switch Bezel Plastic component through the given Class-A surface. To begin with, the tooling axis for the given Class-A Surface should be created meeting the requirements of the draft angle and at the end perform the Draft analysis on the model.

A- SWITCH BEZEL

Making tooling clearing for the faces by creating a sketch on yz plane and intersecting the class A surface and then using the bisecting line tool to get the required line.

Making the tooling clearing for the faces by creating sketch on zx plane and then intersecting the surface A with this plane then creating a line from centre and giving it a certain angle value .

Now , we can bisect the two lines so that we get the Tooling axis for the part.

Doing draft analysis on the Class A surface.

Extracting the rest face from the class A surface.

By using the untrim and extrapolating we get the below surface.

Using the offset tool with a thickness of 2.5mm.

Extracting the walls from the class A surface.

using the untrim and extrapolating tool to get the surface shown below.

Using the trim command to fet the surface as required.

Offsetting this surface by a thickness of 2.5mm .

Extracting the base face from class A surface.

Using the untrim and extrapolating tool to get the surface as shown below.

Offsetting this face by 2.5mm

We will get the this surfaces as shown below.

Using the trim tool we wil get the surface as shown below .

Now we will find the fillet value by extrapolating the fillet surface from class A surface and then using the untrim tool on it and then we will measure its edge.

Now we will give the fillet value by the fillet rule.

Using the boundary tool on class A surface .

Now we will use the smooth curve option on the boundary surface to get a smooth curve .

Using the sweep tool with the draft direction option to get the surface as shown below.

Extrapolating the surface so taht they can be easily trimmed .

Trimming these extrapolated surfaces to get the surface as shown belown .

joining this surface with the class A surface , we will get the surface as shown below .

Trimming this surface with the class B surface .

Now a full closed surface is obtained .

We will then use the closed body toll from part body to generate the required body .

Draft analysis is done on the closed body surface .
