Week 8 - Challenge 3 - Switch Bezel Design

Switch Bezel Plastic component through the given Class-A surface:

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 button within CATIA V5 will helps you quickly gather the draft angle on multiple surfaces without the need for tedious manual measurements.

The tooling axis creation:

The tooling axis is very important for the creation of plastic component as it is this axis through which the tool is sent for tooling purpose.

Bisecting method of tooling axis creation:

When a tooling axis needs to be created on complicated surfaces then a bisection through that surface is performed and the mean distance between the line of that bisection lines are taken as tooling axis for that surface.
