Week 8 - Challenge 5 - Core & Cavity Design

AIM:-

To model the core and cavity block of the switch bezel mould.

OBJECTIVE:-

The core and cavity creation after analysing the A and C surface, create the partition line and surface where the core and cavity comes together.

PARTING LINE & SURFACE:-

The parting surface is the intermediate surface between the core and cavity part of the mould. This surface splits the mould into two halfs. While the parting line traces out the borderline of the parting surfaces, the line splitting the core and cavity of the mould.

CORE & CAVITY DESIGN:-

PARTING SURFACE:-

Initially, the boundary of class A surface is extracted and the class A is extrapolated to trim with class C surface.

The extra surface outside the component is where the core and cavity is separated.

CORE BLOCK:-

Then, Rectangular sketch is made up on the extrapolated surface i.e parting surface.

The sketch is then extruded along the normal component and then trimmed with the component to give out the projection feature.

The same procedure is carried out for the cavity part to give the depression feature to it.

Then the intersection between the component and B surface is taken out as this is where the parting surface is created.

Splitting the parting surface with this line give the actual parting surface removing the component.

Then the core and cavity blocks are given closed body command to make a solid component.
