Week 8 - Challenge 6 - Core & Cavity Design

Parting surface:

The parting surface is the surface of the mold that is perpendicular to the parting line. The purpose of the parting line is to separate the two halves of the mold so that the molded part can be ejected by the ejector pin.

parting surface is created by splitting the B class surface with A and C class surfaces.

Parting line:-

A parting line in the 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, the core and the cavity of a molded part. It is sometimes a starting point for the mold parting surface.

parting line is created by intersection command between B class surafce and the component.

Core:-

movable side molds.

mold closes the cavity and core can make the geometry of the combined product.

cavity:-

molten plastic to enter the fixed side.

mold closes the cavity and core can make the geometry of the combined product.

construction:-

core and cavity is created by creating a rectangle in sketcher workbench over the parting surface which covers the component and extend over the parting surface.

close surface command is to convert the surface into solid.
