Week 8 - Challenge 2 - Switch Bezel Design

Switch Bezel Design:

Objective:

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.

Take the Thickness of the component to be 2.5 mm

Creation of tooling axis:

Creating an intersection using the yz plane.

Create 2 lines.

Create a bisecting line to get the 1st axis.

Creating an intersection using the xz plane.

Creating a sketch line of 6° to get the 2nd axis.

Bisecting the 1st and 2nd axis to get the tooling axis.

Part Design:

All the side surfaces are swept by a 3° angle tooling axis.

Draft analysis:

The draft analysis is done to determine if the designed part is tool able or not. Here the tooling axis is 3°.

By using the compass option, drag and place it on the tooling axis. Click ok then check the result.

Conclusion:

The part has been designed as per the design requirements.
