Week 8 - Challenge 3 - Coin Holder Design

AIM

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

CLASS A SURFACE

Class-A (or 'Strak') is a term used in specifically in automotive design. It describes the final production Class data for the aesthetic parts of the car. The term 'Class A' is often misunderstood, but it's generally seen as the 'Holy Grail' of Class modeling.

TOOLING AXIS:

• Tooling axis can be classified into two methods

direct method

• For this model, to use a line at mid-point of the base of the coin holder
• Due to perpendicular walls of the class A surface

DRAFT ANALYSIS:

• The Drafting analysis was performed on the class-A surface by using the Feature Draft Analysis command.

• Using this command, the compass was set on the main tooling axis and the Draft angle was changed to 3 degrees.

STEPS:-

SOLID SURFACE:

TREE STRUCTURE:

CONCLUSION:

• To use class-A surface and create Tooling axis, Draft analysis were performed.
• The solid component was created from the surface model.
