Aim: To create a Fender from the given Class A surface with Flanges and Drip area which comes in a fender. Explanation:  A fender is the part of a car that protects and frames its wheels and keeps mud from splashing it. Most modern vehicles have fenders on their front wheels. When you get into a minor car accident,…

Aim: To create a Outer and Inner Panel of a car Hood ( Bonnet) from given Clas A surface. Explanation: A car hood, also referred to as a bonnet in some other countries, is the hinged cover that rests over the engine of a front-engine vehicle. Its purpose is to provide access to the engine for repair and maintenance.…

DOOR ARM REST: First the tooling axis created from the A surface as a reference. The orange axis is the side core axis and the white axis is the main tooling axis. Then the B surface is offseted for 2.5mm . Then the C surface is created using the boundaries from the A surface . Then the A surface is joined with the B surface…

Underbody coating: Vehicle undercoating is a process of rust proofing and protecting a vehicle from damage due to sand, gravel, road salts, and other grime, while helping reduce road noise. In areas of extreme climate changes, the lives of vehicles can be extended with proper undercoating. However, it is recommended that…

Benchmarking in the automobile industry Benchmarking involves a structured comparison between similar products, services or processes on some dimensions of performance. For example it can be used to compare the availability and delivery of features in a product and in this form often provides the basis of consumer tests…

Aim: To create a complete solid body of the inner door panel from the given Class A surfraces. Main substrate  ( Lower substrate ),Door arm rest , Map pocket and Bottle Holder are the A surfaces given to us and these are the parts that requires to be convertred into solid bodies and assemble them along with the attachment…

Draft Analysis on A surface: The tooling axis is initially created according to the tooling direction.And draft analysis is carried out using that tooling axis and result is obtained with almost entire cad within the draft range.   The deviation shown in the picture is the minimum deviation and it is well within the…

Draft Analysis: 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.The draft analysis…

 General Guidelines for Bosses:   Draft  - 0.5 degrees on walls of boss   Thickness -  Typically 40%* of the nominal wall at the base.   Height to Diameter Ratio -  3:1   Radii - 0.25mm maximum radii.   "C" is where the doghouse contacts the backside…

Draft Analysis: 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.The draft analysis…

Report of Draft Analysis and tooling axis creation: Draft: In engineering, Draft is the amount of taper for molded or cast parts perpendicular to the parting line. It can be measured in degrees or mm/mm (in/in) .The manufacture of a part that incorporates zero or negative angles may require a mold that can be separated…
