Week 8 - Challenge 3 - Switch Bezel Design

Aim:

• Create the Switch Bezel Plastic component through the given Class-A surface.

Objectives:

• To create a tooling axis for draft analysis on both Class A surface & final body.
• To generate Class B & Class C surface.
• To create solid body from all joined surface.

Design output:

A final body with close surface and publication of tooling axis, Class A surface, Class B & C surface.

Procedure:

Creation of tooling axis:

• local point on base surface is defined for creation of local axis system to create tooling axis.

• first bisecting line is created by intersection of two walls on left and right side of switch bezel when viewed from front by local axis system.

• Second line for proper draft of 2nd wall seen from front is made with 6 degree angle with the intersection as shown below:

• lines obtained from sketch 1 and sketch 3 is bisected using line command from reference element.

• finally tooling axis is obtained

Draft analysis on Class A:

Draft analysis is performed using feature draft analysis tool

Creation of Class B surface:

Creation of Class C surface:

Join Class A, Class B & Class C:

Draft analysis on solid body:

Final Solid body:
