Week 8 - Challenge 2 - Switch Bezel Design

Switch Bezel Design:-

CLASS A SURFACE: 

                              Class A surface means those surfaces which are visible in a product either interior or exterior. It describes the final production surface data for the aesthetic parts of the car, By using that Tooling axis will be created.

TOOLING AXIS:

                      The direction in which the mold or core and cavity opens is the tooling axis. In moulding , the direction in which the mould (core and cavity) is allowed to moveis called tooling direcrtion or tooling axis. 

*Tooling axis can be created by 3 methods:

1 - With respect to the axis system; that is along the axis x , along axis y , along axis z.

2 - Normal to surface.

3 - Bisecting method.

In this model the tooling axis is created normal to the flat base surface of the class A surface.

CLASS B SURFACE:

   Class B surfaces are the secondary surfaces that you can see sometimes, but are less important . This surface is creacted by extracting c;assA surface,then offset by 3 mm.

CLASS C SURFACE :

It is the surface which connects the class A surface and the class B surface . It can also be termed as the thickened surface . It is the surface which gives thickness to the designed component, will be created by sweep commond.

After that class C surface is checked by boundry option to conform wheather surface is closed ir not.

JOINING OF CLASS A & C SURFACE:

PART BODT DONE BY USING CLOSED SURFACE IN PART WORK BENCH:

DRAFT ANALYSIS:

  The draft analysis technique is used to analize whether our part model created in CAD is manufacturable based on the draft condition applied. It shows wether the component designed can be ejected out from the mould without causing any damage to the product. 

   After completing the design and converting the model in to solid by using closed surface then the draft analysis is performed on the part body to verify wether the created model is manufacturable or not.On performing draft analysis if the model turns in to green colour then the model can be manufacturable.
