Week 8 - Challenge 2 - Switch Bezel Design
INTRODUCTION-
Draft Analysis is performed virtually in order to check the draft angle of the designed part for smooth ejection processes from the mold, when manufactured in the real environment. It performs the analysis on the basis of colors' ranges that dignifies and differentiate the surfaces through colors on the basis of their angles.
Tooling Axis is done in order to find the easiest possible direction of the part ejection from the mold, when manufactured in the real environment. For eg.- A part with holes can be easily ejected along the direction normal to it, hence tooling axis is taken normal to holes.

PROCEDURE-
Tooling Axis creation-
- Firstly a supporting axis needs to be created for the red colored planes, side planes will be used as bisection method for creating an Axis at Z-Y Plane (as given below)
- Then second supporting axis needs to be created at an angle of 4.5`*` from a line extended through blue colored surface at Z-X Plane's intersection (as given below)
- Then Main tooling axis will be created by bisection method from those 2 supporting Axes (as given below)
