Week 8 - Challenge 2 - Switch Bezel Design

AAkshay Kumar17 Jan 2023

The aim of this project is to develop the product design of the switch bezel with the help of the class A surface following the OEM standards.

Introduction

Class A

Class A surface is the term mainly used in automotive design industry. It describes the final production surface data for the aesthetic parts of the car.

Class B

Class B surface is the secondary surfaces which is not visible normally. These must be smooth and "error-free" as well, but are not held to the standards that class A surfaces are.

Class C

Class C surfaces are the backside surfaces that can have tool marks, flash and other imperfections without hurting appearance, function, etc..

The steps involved in creation of this project are:

1. Bringing the class A surface of the switch bezel in Catia v5 software

2. Determining the tooling axis for the switch bezel

3. Creation of class B surface

4. Creation of class C surface

5. Joining all the class A, class B and class C surfaces of the switch bezel

6. Building closed surface after joining all the surfaces

7. Draft analysis on the switch bezel

OUTPUT :

TOOLING AXIS ON SURFACE A
