Week 8 - Challenge 5 - Core & Cavity Design

CORE AND CAVITY DESIGN

Core and cavity blocks for the switch bezel is to be made using the existing switch bezel part.

An intersection is made and the parting line is defined , So that it will be easy for us to design the core and cavity

CORE

The core is the part which has the projection.

The core is designed by extrapolating all the surfaces of the model, and then the extrapolated suface is trimmed with the Class C surface. The Class B surface is extrapolated and trimmed with the obtained part.Now choosing the plane nearly normal to the tooling axis a rectangular sketch is made as it mus cover the core part totally and then the rectangular sketch is extruded both the sides in the direction of the tooling axis. A trim is done with the existing surface. Here is the core now fill the open surface and make it into solid.

CAVITY

Follow the same steps that you have followed to design the cavity part But the steps should be carried on the opposite side of the parting surface.

Finally translate both the core and cavity to some distance so that the view would be more informative
