Week 8 - Challenge 3 - Switch Bezel Design

AIM:

Create the Switch Bezel Plastic component through the given Class-A surface. To begin with, 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.

procedure:

• import the class A surface (class A surface is the asthetic design which will give and we want to develop class B class C surface from it )
• change the colour of diffrent part for ease to develop and designing process

• then we want to create tooling axis for that insert new geomatrical set , insert a axis system , and define the point on plane ,for creating tooling axis we want to create 2 reffrance line in yz plane and xz plane , we use intersction tool for getting the tooling axis

refrance line from yz plane

refrance line from xz axis (we provide here 5 degree draft angle)

• by using bisecting in line tool we got the tooling axis for class a surface
• now we need to do draft analysis for class A a surface

• then we want to create class B surface from class A
• for that extract the parts in class A surface
• extrapolite for intersecting the surfaces
• trim the needed surface
• then offset into 2.5 downwards because we need thickness from class A SURFACE
• after offseting trim the structure properly
• measure the fillets then we will 14 and we make fillets 14-2.5 for optaining proper thickness in everywere

• then we want to create class C surface which connects A & B
• for that use tool multiple extract and manually extract 2 sides of class A
• then create sweep by selecting the extracted line and tooling axis

• set proper degree and direction we will get both sweeps
• the extra polite the edges and trim to get closed surface
• then we want to join all the surfaces
• join class A and class C first , if there is proper dimensional connectivity it will get connected
• then trim the optained surface with class B , sometimes we face intersection problems where triming not work properly at certain case extrapolite the surface which is not intersected properly
• then trim again we will optain perfect SWICH BEZEL WITH GIVEN THICKNESS
• then go to part workbench and and solidify the model by giving body to object

• finally we need to do draft analysis
