Week 8 - Challenge 4 - Bumper

INTRODUCTION-

Draft Analysis is performed virtually in order to check the draft angle of the designed part for smooth ejection processes from the mold, when manufactured in the real environment. It performs the analysis on the basis of colors' ranges that dignifies and differentiate the surfaces through colors on the basis of their angles.

Tooling Axis is done in order to find the easiest possible direction of the part ejection from the mold, when manufactured in the real environment. For eg.- A part with holes can be easily ejected along the direction normal to it, hence tooling axis is taken normal to holes.

Class A surface-

Final plastic component-

Solid part-

PROCEDURE-

Tooling Axis creation-

• By viewing the given Class A surface from all projections, it is concluded that the bumper is actually following arc shape, so a tilted tooling axis has to be taken, whose direction could be followed in smooth ejection from vertically left side of this bumper and air hole.
