Week 8 - Challenge 4 - Bumper

AIM:--

Create the Bumper 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. 

Take the Thickness of the component to be 3 mm

To be able to create solid from the given Class-A surface, by considering tooling axis and draft analysis.

  • The given Class-A surface:--

WHAT IS CLASS A SURFACE ?

It is an Asthetic surface and which is visible to the customers ie, Top surface,

  • Tooling Axis:--

~ The tooling axis is the tool movement axis (core/cavity).

~ This axis will decide the draft direction.

    FIG:--EXTRACEDTHE SURFACE AND CREATED THE POINT AND CREATED THE TOOLING AXIS LINE.

                                                      FIG:-- TOOLING AXIS 

  • Performing draft analysis on the given Class A Surface:--

           FIG:--The draft is considered as 3 degrees.

  • THE CTREATION OF CLASS B SURFACE :--

WHAT IS CLASS B SURFACE ?

The surface which is thicken and applying the engineering features in it that sorface is called as CLASS B SURFACE

NOW OFFSET THE CLASS A SURFACE FOR 3mm IN INWARD DIRECTION.

FIG:--THERE WILL BE GAPS IN THE FILLET AREAS AND USE MULTIPLE EXTRACT COMMAND AND SELECT THE SURFACE AND EXTRAPOLATE IT AND TRIM AND USE EDGE FILLET

                                                           FIG:-- CLASS B SURFACE.

  • THE CREATION OF CLASS C SURFACE:--

WHAT IS CLASS C SURFACE ?

The surface which joins the class A and B together that surface is called as CLASS C SURFACE .

By using the MULTIPLE  EXTRACT Command create a boundary and use SMOOTH CURVE  Option to smooth the curve and use Sweep command to  create a surface along "WITH REFRENCE SURFACE".

And the angle of draft given in Sweep is 90Degrees.

  • NOW JOINING ALL THE THREE SURFACES  :--

JOIN SURFACE A WITH SURFACE C :--

TRIM SURFACE AC WITH THE SURFACE B:--

  • NOW CREATING THE CLOSED SURFACE :--

                        FIG:--The Solid is made by using the Close surface tool.

  • PERFORMING DRAFT ANALYSIS FOR THE WHOLE BLOCK:--

                 FIG:--Performed the draft analysis anf it had cleared the draft analysis for 3 degrees.

  • Images of the color scale variant:--

                                          

  • TREE STURCTURE:--

  • Screenshots of the solid model with the proper color code of the draft angle in various orientations (Isometric, Front, Side, and Top View)
