Week 8 - Challenge 5 - Core & Cavity Design

CORE AND CAVITY DESIGNE

AIM: to create the core and cavity blockes for the switch bazel designed in the earlier challenge .

creation of tooling axis for the given class a surface :

• tooling axis direction is the direction in which the core and cavity open .
• the selection of the tooling direction depends up on the product and the features of the product .
• the tooling direction is selected by visual checking the part and in such a way that there are no additional side cores required for the molding process . this ensure proper clearence of the part after the process

the below are the steps for creating the tooling axis

• create the point at the bottom surface of swutch bazel class a surface and insert an axis system at that point
• for tooling clearence axis in the y direction ,a position sketch is created by inserting the clas a surface with the zy plane
• lines are drawn to represent the phase parallel to the assumed tooling direction
• then the two lines are bisected ,resulting in the tooling clearance axis in the y direction
• then the two lines are bisected , resulting in the tooling clearence axis in the y direction
• similarly for x direction ,a positiond is created by intersecting the class a surface with the zx plane .
• lines are drawn to reprenent the faces parllel to the assumed tooling direction
• since we donot have an opposite face we cannot bisect the lines to create a tooling axis , we create a line based on the required draft angle with the parallel face
• the line represents in the tooling clearance in x direction.
• publish the tooling axis and the class a sutrface for easy axis for working with them i the feature

cavity :hallow half half of the mold typically refered as the a side

core: half of the mold that fill the hallow side typically reference as the b side

parting line: line formed in the model part wher two halves of the mold meethappconclusion :finally happend a core and cavity design
