Week 8 - Challenge 2 - Switch Bezel Design

Challenge 2 - Switch Bezel Design

Aim

Create the Switch Bezel Plastic component through the given Class - A surface

Objective

The objective of the project is to design the switch bezel and to do a draft analysis for it by creating the required tooling direction with the help of Bisecting method

Introduction

The control panel bezel is the frame part of the window switch that holds its switch covers and buttons into a place. moulding is the method used to manufacture the plastic trims of an automotive by most OEM's hence by considering the manufacturing consideration the switch bezel is designed.

Design Consideration

1. Class - A surface should be aesthetically smooth and good.

2. Class - B surface should have all the supporting features like ribs.

3. Parting line should coincide with the B surface since flashing couldn't affect the aesthetic of Class - A.

4. Class - C surface should also pass the draft analysis.
