Week 8 - Challenge 6 - Core & Cavity Design

CORE AND CAVITY DESIGN OF SWITCH BEZEL

TOOLING AXIS

• The direction in which the mold or core and cavity opens is the tooling axis.

CORE

• A core is a device used in casting and moulding processes to produce internal cavities and reentrant angles (an interior angle that is greater than 180°).
• The core is normally a disposable item that is destroyed to get it out of the piece.

CAVITY

• The cavity is the female part which forms external shape of molding.

PARTING SURFACE

• A parting surface is a surface that separates the mold block into two parts – the core and the cavity.

PARTING LINE

• A parting line, in industrial casting of molds, is the border line in which draft angles change direction.
• One can check the parting line in the mould or product which divides the two half,
• i.e; the core and the cavity of a molded part.
• It is sometimes a starting point for the mold parting surface.

DRAFT ANALYSIS

• The draft analysis technique is used to analyze whether our part model created in CAD is manufacturable based on the draft condition applied.
• Here the part should get easily removed from the panel dies .
