Week 8 - Challenge 5 - Core & Cavity Design

In order to make both the core and cavity blocks, we first need a parting surface. This surface needs to start on the B side of the part, because when manufactured, it will create flashing that will need to be cut.

To make the parting line, first, we extrapolate the A surface

Then trim it with the C surface

And then trim it with the B surface, leaving the outside in.

We then create the core by extruding a rectangular boundary and trimming it with this surface

We fill the top hole, and create the solid block. This is our core.

Then, for the cavity, we do something very similar; only this time we will trim the rectangular extrusion with the extrapolated B surface.

After trimming, filling, and turning into a solid, this is the result:

Finally, the actual parting surface is trimmed with the parting line.
