Week 8 - Challenge 3 - Coin Holder Design
COIN HOLDER DESIGN
AIM:
Create the Coin Holder Plastic component through the given Class-A surface.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. the Thickness of the component to be 2.5 mm.
CLASS A-SURFAC:
In automotive design, a class A surface is any of a set of free form surfaces of high efficiency and quality. It gives the aesthetic of the component which is created by the styling team and gives to the part design engineer to create the part with all engineering aspects.
We have been given the Class-A surface and the first thing to do is to make sure that the given surface has no gap in between them. We can check it visually and also with help of Join or boundary commands. Than we strat other think, like tooling axis creation, B-surface creation and C-surface. Than only get our final part.
TOOLING AXIS:
The direction in which the mold or core and cavity opens is the tooling axis.Dummy tooling axisBy checking the all three axis the best tooling direction is determined.
CLASS B-SURFACE:
Class-B surface means the thickness of a part it is not visible and is inside part. In other words, the Class-B surface is a surface below a certain thickness from the class-A surface. This is the surface that contains engineering aspects of a model.The Class B finish is a quality finish with only minimal imperfections. A Class B finish is the most common finish for exterior surfaces. It is normally specified on surfaces such as external covers, panels, and parts that are fairly prominent.
The surface that joins class-A and class-B surfaces are class-C surfaces. Class C is often specified for interior surfaces not readily visible, surfaces that will be covered by another part when assembledThe Class C finish allows more imperfections than Class A or B.

CONCLUSION:
- Created the Coin Holder component using the given Class-A surface.
- the tooling axis for the given Class-A Surface is created which meeting the requirements of the draft angle.
- Draft analysis is done on the CLASS A surface.
- Draft analysis is done on the Final part.
- Using the Close Surface feature solid body is created from the surface.
