Week 8 - Challenge 6 - Core & Cavity Design

AIM

To Create the Core and cavity blocks for the switch bezel component.

To open cadpat of switch bazel

Input

To create a tooling axis

Switch bazel closed surface

Draft analysis:

The Draft Analysis command enables you to detect if the part you drafted will be easily removed. This type of analysis is performed based on color ranges identifying zones on the analyzed element where the deviation from the draft direction at any point, corresponds to specified values.

Core block:

A portion of the mold that goes inside a cavity to form the interior of a hollow part.

PARTING SURFACE:Generally injection mold has two major components : the movable half and the fixed half, during the injecction molding process, these two halves are pressed tightly from a sealed hollow to avoid the melt flow leakage and maintain certain holding pressure, the pressed surface are called parting surface , usually parting surface are the biggest projection outline of the part.

Whenever to create a core to projection of the component

Cavity block:

PARTING LINE:A parting line is an inevitable part of injection molded products.It is the line of separation between where two halves of a mold meet.

Cavity to be created to depresion of the product
