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 draft angle requirements and performing the draft analysis on the model at the end.

Take the Thickness of the component to be 2.5 mm

Screenshots of the Draft analysis report for both the given Class-A surface and the final plastic component

CREATING TOOL AXIS

CREATING BISECTING LINE IN Y DIRECTION

CREATING BISECTING LINE IN X DIRECTION

BY BISECTING ABOVE MENTIONED LINE(X &Y DIRECTION LINE) TO GET A ACTUAL TOOL AXIS

B SURFACE CREATION

EXTRACT FLAT SURFACE ONE BY ONE FROM THE CLASS-A SURFACE, AND OFFSET THEM FOR

2.5 mm(thickness of the component) UNTRIM IT AND EXTRAPOLATE WITH POINT CONTINUITY AND TRIM IT TO GET A CLASS-B SURFACE

GIVE A REQUIRED FILLET VALUE (15mm-2.5mm) TO GET A OUTPUT LIKE THIS

AFTER GIVING EDGE FILLER THE B SURFACE LOOKS LIKE AS BELOW

AFTER COMPLETING THE PROCESS AS MENTIONED ABOVE, HIDE THE CLASS B AND UNHIDE THE

CLASS A SURFACE. TAKE A BOUNDARY OF CLASS A SURFACE SWEEP IT FOR 3 deg TO GET A CLASS C SURFACE AS BELOW

AFTER COMPLETION OF THE PROCESS AS MENTIONED ABOVE UNHIDE ALL 3 SURFACES(CLASS A, B, AND C) TOGETHER. TRIM THE UNWANTED PORTIONS TO GET THE REQUIRED OUTPUT AS BELOW

ONCE COMPLETING ALL THE PROCESSES MENTIONED AS ABOVE. ENTER INTO THE PART WORKBENCH TO GET A CLOSED PART BODY. NOW THE PRODUCT LOOKS AS BELOW

DRAFT ANALYSIS OF THE FINAL PRODUCT

SUCCESSFUL DRAFT ANALYSIS GIVES A FULLY GREEN-COLOURED PART BODY AS GIVEN BELOW
