SWITCH BEZEL DESIGN -MAYANK TIWARI

FOLLOWING ARE THE CRITICAL STEPS WHILE WORKING ON ANY DESIGN PART :

1. CHECK THE CONTINUITY OF THE GIVEN CLASS A-SURFACE.

2. AFTER THIS,DEFINE THE TOOLING AXIS.

3. NEXT STEP IS TO DO THE DRAFT ANALYSIS,WITH GIVEN NECESSARY REQUIREMENTS.

4. AFTER ALL THE ABOVE CHECKS ARE ENSURED, NOW THE TIME IS TO CREATE CLASS B-SURFACE.

5.FOLLOWING CLASS B,CLASS C SURFACE CREATION IS DONE WITH FINAL JOIN.

6.AFTER THIS WE CAN CREATE CLOSE SURFACE ,OUT OF FINAL JOIN.

STEP-1 : CONTINUITY CHECK.

ENSURING THAT THERE SHOULD BE NO GAP BETWEEN THE GIVEN CLASS A-SURFACE,WE CAN DO THIS USING JOIN COMMAND OR VISUALLY USING BOUNDARY COMMAND,AS THERE IS NO DISCONTINUITY SO OUR FISRT CHECK IS COMPLETE.

STEP-2: FINDING TOOLING AXIS & IT'S CREATION.

THE TOOLING AXIS IS THE DIRECTION IN WHICH THE MOULD OPEN & CLOSES.FIRST OPTION IS TO GO WITH CHECKING VISUALLY,OR YOU CAN CREATE A TOOLING AXIS IN THE DIRECTION OF HOLE OR TO A NORMAL SURFACE.BISECTING METHOD IS BASICALLY USE TO FIND THE PROPER TOOLING AXIS USING DUMMY TOOLING AXIS.IN THIS METHOD,BISECTING LINE IS USED WHICH EITHER BISECTS THE TWO LINE OR IT WILL SHOW ERROR WHICH MEANS THE TWO LINES ARE PARALLEL TO EACH OTHER.IN ORDER TO KNOW THE PARTICULAR SURFACE IS TOOLABLE OR NOT WE INTERSECT THE SURFACE WITH THE RESPECTIVE PLANE AND GET A SKETCH WHICH CONSISTS OF TWO LINES AND WITH THE HELP OF BISECTING LINE OPTION WE BISECT THE LINE WHICH CREATES A LINE AT THE MID POINT OF TWO LINES.LIKEWISE WE CREATE TOOLING CLEARING AXIS FOR X & Y WHICH WILL BE USED TO CREATE THE MAIN TOOLING AXIS USING THE BISECTING LINE OPTION.
