Week 8 - Challenge 3 - Coin Holder Design

Requirement:-

Create the Coin Holder 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 requirements of the draft angle and at the end perform the Draft analysis on the model.

Take the Thickness of the component to be 2.5 mm


Checkpoints

1) To check the continuity of Class A surface
2) Find the tooling Axis of the component
3) Making B surface
4) making C surface
5) combining surfaces and creating closed body

Definitions:-

Class A surface:-
Class A surfaces are those aesthetic/free-form surfaces, which are visible to us (interior/exterior), and have an optimal aesthetic shape and high surface quality.


Tooling Axis:-
The direction in which the mold or core and cavity opens is the tooling axis.


Steps to work

STEP1

Initially check the connectivity of the surface, this can be done by creating boundaries or by simply using the join option such that any openings can be easily visualized.




Tooling Axis creation:

Using the tooling axis created along the x and y-axis, these tooling axes are used for the creation of the tooling axis by a bisecting method where the two lines and point will be selected as inputs.

We check the best possible tooling direction (X,Y,Z ) and find where all faces can be represented using tooling Axis

After choosing the particular direction we create Intersection points on the remaining axis were we get mean point to create the tooling axis.

This intersection can be done by Axis system or thru creating a plane.





Here we used point on the surface intersecting Boundary and created a line perpendicular to the surface.

STEP 2

Draft Analysis:

Draft analysis is done after determining the tooling axis, draft analysis is used to check whether the minimum draft (3 degrees) is maintained or not.

Compass is used to define the draft direction.
If the minimum draft 3 degree is provided the whole component changes in to green colour




STEP 3

B Surface


Now for creating the B Surface we split the component into 3 parts surface and walls. By using Extracted Surfaces and then Un trim them along with offset and Extrapolation upon requirement Them trim them to get Final output required surfaces.

Side Walls



Side walls Before and after Trim

The above wall are extracted from Class A surface and then Untrimed extrpolated until required measurent and then later trimmed
Then offset witht the thickness required with class A and gave fillet by checking the value thru measuring tool on class A surface

Base



Checking the Base we find Flat base where It has a inclined wall we couldn't take in wall as it relays mostly on the base

The above image is comination of both surfaces on the Base


Top Wall



Top wall after applying features the same menthods used in Wall creation




Combined surface of above worked features


Outer Flanges



The above surface after working with features


B Surface





C surface





The above C surface is made by considering the connection required with A

so created as edge body to connect them




A and C surface Combine




A+C Surface





Now using the Closed Surface command in part design created a solid Body !


DRAFT ANALYSIS OF FINAL PLASTIC COMPONENT:

Following the similar steps performed for draft analysis of class-A surface, we obtained the following result





The draft analysis command enables you to detect if the part you drafted will be easily removed. This type of analysis is performed based on color ranges identifying zones on the analyzed element where the deviation from the draft direction at any point, corresponds to specified values.
