Week 8 - Challenge 5 - Core & Cavity Design

AIM:

To create the Core and cavity blocks for the switch bezel designed

TO DESIGN:

>Tooling axis

>Class B surface

>Class C surface

>Solid surface

CREATION OF TOOLING AXIS:

>The tooling axis is created by the bisecting method

>The base of the class A is extracted and create a centre point in the centre of the base with the current feature disabled

>The two inclined lines are drawn inside the position sketch

>Then bisecting lines with the two inclines lines were drawn

>Now the same procedure is done along the xz plane

>with these two lines the bisecting line is created and it is used as tooling axis and published

DRAFT ANALYSIS:

*open feature draft analysis using the analysis option

*when it opens it shows the quick analysis mode

*Next to position the compass to the tooling axis by draging it from the right corner of the working area. the w axis should be inline in tooling axis

*Then lock the position of the compass by clicking the lock option in the tool bar

*Then clicking the surface of the part it shows the colour range

*It shows the range change it to 2.9 ,then the part turns into green
