Week 8 - Challenge 5 - Core & Cavity Design

The design of core and a cavity can be made by considering the tooling axis creation between the two parting surfaces.

The parting surface is a surface which will divide the core and a cavity block between the two components.

For the creatiopn of core and a cavity between the two components we have to considered the tooling axis of the component which is more preferabally for design component.

We have to considered the switch bezel component for the creation of core and cavity design axis.

The toooling axis of the switch bezel is taking by considering the creation of core and cavity component.

The two bisecting lines can be created across the two parting lines which are considering for the tooling direction of the component.

The mean axis is created between the two lines which are at some distance can be created for the creation of class A surface and class B surface .

The draft analysis of the component can be made between the two tooling direction of the component which are at some distances.

To join class A and class B surfaces we have to give the thickness of the components which are join together to form a closed body surface.

The C surface has to be created for joining the components of class A and class B surfaces.

The draft analysis of the component can be done by taking the compass and place it over the tooling axis which shows the green color component .

The green color indicates that tooling direction of the component is above 3 degree angle.

The red color indicates the tooling direction of the component is in between the 0 degree to 3 degree angle of creation.

The blue color indicated the tooling direction of the component is below 0 degree angle or it is negative which indicates that the draft analysis of the component is preferable for the manufacturing process.

The minimum thickness of the component is maintained between in the range of 3 degree angle which is industry relevant point.
