Draft Analysis:

So, as explained in previous example. The draft analysis is done to check the exact drafts of the component. As we are aware of the fact that a component with vertical or 0 degree draft can be manufacturebale so we have to provide at least 3 degree draft to make proccess easy and possible. For that purpose draft analysis is very important to check wethere the component will be manufactured easily or not.

Tooling Axis:

It is the main axis along with which we are going to make our draft also with this axis the plastic component is going to be made. It is created with the help of the given class A surface given by the designer.

There are many methods to find the tooling axis. We used Bisecting method in previous examples. In this example, the product was a little complicated and it has a lot of curves so, I used a different method.

I opened the draft analysis and brought the orientation pole on the product. The analysis started itself. I moved the pole in different different direction to see which was the perfect angle for the tooling axis. Once I found the direction I locked the pole. Made a line in that direction and that line was my tooling axis.
