TOOLING AXIS

Tooling direction is the main consideration for plastic part and mould parts because it defines the movement of the mould part and the possibility of the plastic part coming out from the mould part (Core and Cavity).

TOOLING DIRECTION

• In Molding, machine arrangement is given to open the mould along a direction which is known as Tooling Direction.
• In other words. The mould is built from two separate halves (Core and Cavity) and tooling direction basically defines the direction of mould pulls apart.
• Tooling direction is known as primary direction.

DRAFT ANALYSIS

The draft analysis technique is used to analyze whether our part model created in CAD is manufacturable based on the draft condition applied. Here the part should get easily removed from the panel dies (in case of Sheet metal part) or Mold (in case of plastic).

STEP 1

To change the view mode of material mode of the component.

STEP 2

To click the draft analysis dialog box in pick the compass icon to place the tooling axis.

STEP 3

After placing the compass in correct position to click on the component anywhere it will get the result.
