Week 8 - Challenge 3 - Switch Bezel Design

INPUT

SURFACE CONSTRUCTION SET

A-CLASS SURFACE

Tooling axis creation

1) Y-AXIS TOOLING AXIS

we need to project the component 2D on the sketch(yx plane) and through the tangent line along the profile line, we will draw a bisecting line as shown below which will be the tooling axis in Y-direction.

2) X-AXIS TOOLING AXIS

we need to project the component 2D on the sketch(xz plane) and through the tangent line along the profile line and a normal line at 3-degree draft inclination. we will draw a bisecting line as shown below which will be the tooling axis in x-direction.

3) MAIN TOOLING AXIS

Furthur we will bisect the X and Y tooling axis to get the main tooling axis.

DRAFT ANALYSIS FOR A-CLASS SURFACE

The green shaded portion signifies the clearance surface for the given draft of 2.9 degree

in order to do so

1. set the compass for the draft analysis aligned to the tooling axis
2. The lock the compass and set the parameter for the draft
3. click the part body or surface for draft analysis
