Week 8 - Challenge 4 - Bumper

TOOLING AXIS CREATION

Tooling axis defines the movement of tooling (core & cavity).

First seek for the best possible direction for tooling axis.

Generally tooling axis is either in X, Y or Z direction whichever is best for tooling clearing.

A surface at the upper side of the class A is selected for creating a point for tooling axis.

Create a point at center of the surface.

Introduce an axis system on the point.

X-component is taken as the best possible direction for tooling axis through the created point.

DRAFT ANALYSIS

Change the view mode to Customize View Parameters and select the Material option from the Mesh.

Introduce the compass, drag and align it with the line (tooling axis).

Lock the direction of the draft.

Draft angle compared within 0⁰ to 3⁰.
