Week 8 - Challenge 4 - Coin Holder Design

AIM :

Thicken the given surface by crating CLASS B and CLASS C surfaces and perform Draft Analysis and Tooling Axis.

TOOLING AXIS

STEP 1

Extract the base and create a point and axis system.

DRAFTING

It is a tool that allows the user to ‘see’ whether the part they are designing can be removed from the tool being used to make it. In the case of plastic injection molded parts it also allows the designer to see if there is enough draft on the part to ensure that it can be correctly grained. I always use the tool with the axis direction method. Put the main axis on the draft direction line with Z being parallel to it. Select the tool then select the part body. You may need to reposition the axis again. The results window has 2 options 1 with just 3 color variants and the other with many variants. They can be edited by double-clicking on them to give you the result you desire. The colors show the different draft angles
