Week 8 - Challenge 5 - Door Trim Lower

DOOR TRIM LOWER

CLASS A SURFACE

It is the surface which is given to the plastic designer as input.it is the outer most and aesthetic surface.

CLASS B SURFACE

A surface that is at a distance of thickness from class A surface is class B surface.all engineering features are contained in B surface.

CLASS C SURFACE

A surface that joints class A and class B is called C surface.

TOOLING AXIS

• The tooling direction is used to find the direction in which the part is ejected out of the mold.
• First look at the part in all views and check which is the most appropriate direction for the tool axis.
• From all views we can see that all parts of the surface is visible in the Y direction.
• Then we take the intersection between the part and XY plane in order to get the intersection curve for the problem making 2 surfaces.

• Then we draw extend line on the problem making surfaces.
• Then we take the bisecting between those line which is the final tooling axis.

DRAFT ANALYSIS

• Draft analysis is done to check whether the part designed is manufacturable or not.
• Minimum draft angle considered is 3*.
• For analysis goto insert>analysis>feature draft analysis.
• Then place the compass on the tooling axis and click on the part.
