Week 8 - Challenge 2 - Switch Bezel Design

WEEK 8 CHALLENGE 2 SWITCH BEZEL DESIGN

Switch bezel is a one of the plastic component in the car. In switch bezel has asthetic surface in top surface at bottom has class b and class c surface.To begin with tooling axis for class a surface.With the referance of class A it created class B surface. And with referance of class A and class B it created class C surface.

TOOLING AXIS

• It is the first stage of to create surface modeling of this design.
• Before create a tooling axis have to create dummy tooling axis.
• For to create dummy tooling axis take referance with class A surface with help of intersect tool at the one plane

(DUMMY TOOLING AXIS)

• Then select the other side of plane and select position sketch draw the bisecting line give angle to it.
• And rename the line which have created name as main tooling axis.

CLASS B SURFACE

• It's a second stage of this design and it look like a copy of class A.
• Extract the class A from bezel rest, wall and base.
• Then untrim which have extract from the class A surface.
• After done the untrim then extrapolate the surface.
• At the given thickness of component offset the surface.

(BEFORE THE FINAL TRIM)

• With use of trim tool remove the unwanted surface then form class B surface.

( CLASS B SURFACE)

CLASS C SURFACE

• Class C surface is the giving thickness to the class A and class B surface.
• To create the class C surface for that extract the boundary of class A surface.
• After extract the boundary of the class A surface then go to sweept tool in that select the profile type and select the subtype as WITH DRAFT DIRECTION.

(SWEEPT TOOL)

• In guide curve obtion select the boundary of the class A surface which have extract and in draft direction obtion select the tooling axis.
• And give the maximum draft angle of 3 deg.
• And select side which have sweept to create then give OK.

FINAL TRIM

• In final trim have to merge the class A and class C surface for that use join tool select the two surfaces.
• After that have to remove the unwanted surfaces for that go to trim tool select the class B and class C surfaces.

(SURFACE MODELING OF SWITCH BEZEL)

• To make solid module then go to part workbench then select the close suface and select the surface module give OK then it form in solid module.

DRAFT ANGLE ANALYSIS

• Draft angle analysis tool used to analysis draft of the object.
• To check the draft angle then go to insert in that go to analysier and select the draft angle analysis.
• Then pick the compass drage and merge to the tooling axis.
• Before going to analysis to ensure that it's in customize view parametries in that select the material mode.
• And click the surface then it will show the draft angle analysis.
