Week 8 - Challenge 4 - Bumper

AIM : Create the Bumper Plastic component through the given Class-A surface taking the thickness of the component be 3 mm

• CREATION OF TOOLING AXIS :

1. First ensure that the class-A surface is properly joined and has no discontinuity on it. To check we can use join command or boundary command .
2. select the best region or direction suitable for the tooling axis direction by visual or Intersection method .
3. After selecting , create a point accordingly using ' POINT ' command .
4. Now create a line using ' point to direction 'method along X direction .This is our required Tooling Axis .

DRAFT ANALYSIS REPORT :

• Follow the steps : Go to insert> analysis> feature draft analysis
• Place the compass on the Tooling axis .
• Select the lock symbol to fix compass along with tooling axis .
• Click on the surface then various Color codes will be appeared and Draft angle is applied . Make sure that the surface is within the permissible limit of the draft values. The surface should be green and nominal draft value should be 3deg .
• Thus the draft analysis on the class-A surface is successfully performed.

FINAL PLASTIC COMPONENT DRAFT ANALYSIS :
