Week 8 - Challenge 4 - Coin Holder Design

Draft Analysis Creation:-

Introduction

Draft analysis is done after completing the design before starting the production. For plastic parts easy to eject from mold, to reach high productivity the draft angle is an important role in this production. so we did the draft analysis after completing the design. In this draft analysis, we check whether the draft angle for all the surfaces is suitable for production or not.

Tooling Axis:-

First, we confirm the tooling axis whether the tool opens upside down or side opening along the part. After that, we create the tooling axis in part. For tooling axis intersection points we found out. So first we check the given class A surface is fully closed, or any other open is there.

Intersection curve created along the Y direction. In that intersection, curve The Curve for the sidewall is measured by measuring the tool. In this case, the Class A surface side wall Hadnot applied draft so its perpendicular to the Base. so we directly draw the line starting from the midpoint which we created. along with direction reference is the base which we extract from class A. This line is Tooling Axis lets rename it.

Draft Analysis;-

For that Go to insert select analysis in that select feature draft analysis. In draft, analysis select Use the compass For the current draft direction option. Drag the compass and put it on the tooling axis. Now click on the lock option to lock the compass. Now using the mode's set draft angle it shows the color variation on the surface. By that color difference, we found the draft angle difference in the surface.
