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.

GIVEN CLASS-A SURFACE

TOOLING AXIS

In this object the product can be produced by -X-axis and meets the plastic design concept
For creating tool axis, we are using intersecting method. It is created by intersecting XY-plane and YZ-plane
For creating XY-plane, we use intersecting command to intersect class-a surface in XY direction
For creating YZ-plane, we use intersecting command to intersect class-A surface in YZ direction
Intersecting point is created by two intersecting lines.
With the create a line along X-direction.
The line created is our tooling axis.

DRAFT ANALYSIS

For this process we use feature draft analysis command.
Make sure martial mode is in customise material mode and select material in mesh option from view option.
In draft analysis select the element as our design and select compass from direction dialog box.
Align the compass on tooling axis and click lock option to avoid change in compose direction.
Now click display option and give value and colour to measure the draft angle.
In this process we found draft angle of the object. As draft angle is 3^o for plastic the surface got cleared in this process.
