Week 8 - Challenge 4 - Bumper
Bumper
Draft Analysis: Draft Analysis is done to check whether the part created can be removed easily from the cavity easily. It is done by giving different color zones which shows any deviation from the specified draft angle and direction.
Tooling axis: It is created to specify the direction through which core has to pass into the cavity region. It plays a vital role in determining the direction of core as it should not affect the final product after cooling when it is removed. It should be in such a way to prevent side cores so that the cost will reduce.
Steps for specifying tooling axis for Door Trim:
- Use Join command and confirm that surfaces are joined together properly with no gaps.
- Analyse the surface model and decide the best tooling direction.
- Create the point on the surface
- Draw a line from the point normal to the surface
- Consider that line as Tooling Axis
But in actual scenario, it should be sent to A-surface team to ask them to give draft angle that suits for moudling during core removal. Then we have to decide based on the draft angle provided.
