Week 8 - Challenge 3 - Coin Holder Design

OBJECTIVE

Create the Coin Holder Plastic component through the given Class-A surface.

CLASS A SURFACE

Class A surface mean the surface of a component which is smooth or visible side to human eye after the part is assembled. It is refers as the aesthetic surface of a Vehicle.

TOOLING AXIS

Tooling axis is the direction in which the mold and cavity opens and closes in the injection molding operation.

PROCEDURE TO CREATE TOOLING AXIS

1. Extract the base surface
2. Create a center point on that surface
3. Create a line on that point

CREATION OF CLASS B SURAFACE

Class B surface is used for Engineering purpose. All the design parameter are done on the Class B surface.

CREATION OF CLASS C SURFACE

Class C surface is used to join the Class A and Class B surface together.

FINAL TRIM

DRAFT ANALYSIS

Draft analysis is done to know wheather the part will be easily manufacturable by the given draft angle or not. It will ensure that the part will not stuck in the core and cavity.

PROCEDURE TO PERFORM DRAFT ANALYSIS:-

1. Right Click on Tab < Go to Analysis < Feature Draft analysis
2. Put the View Mode in material option
3. Align the compass with the tooling direction line
4. The surface will turn into green colour it means the part is manufacturable with the given draft angle.
