Week 8 - Challenge 6 - Core & Cavity Design

Create the Core and cavity blocks for the switch bezel designed using the surface workbench

A detailed report should be done explaining the draft analysis and the tooling axis creation.

BEFORE ENTERING INTO THE CORE AND CAVITY DESIGN WE NEED TO PERFORM A DRAFT ANALYSIS FOR THE COMPLETED PART MODEL

AFTER COMPLETING THE DRAFT ANALYSIS TAKE A BOUNDARY OF CLASS-A AND EXTRAPOLATE IT. UNHIDE THE CLASS-A WITH C-SURFACE AND B-SURFACE. TRIM TOGETHER TO GET A PARTING SURFACE.

CORE DESIGN

AFTER COMPLETING THIS DRAW A RECTANGLE ON THE XY PLANE. MAKE SURE THE RECTANGLE SHOULDN'T EXCEED THE BOUNDARY OF THE PARTING SURFACE. EXTRUDE THE RECTANGLE. TRIM WITH THE PARTING SURFACE TO GET A OPENED CORE BLOCK

NOW JOIN THE FILLED SURFACE WITH THE EXTRUDED SURFACE. AFTER THAT YOU WILL GET A COMPLETELY CLOSED CORE SURFACE. AFTER GETTING THIS TO ENTER INTO A PART WORKBENCH TO MAKE IT A SOLID BODY

CAVITY DESIGN

USING THE SAME SKETCH, EXTRUDE AGAIN AND MADE TRIM WITH DOWNWARDS. NOW YOU GET A OPEN CAVITY SURFACE

TAKE A CLOSED BOUNDARY OF THIS OPEN SURFACE AND FILL IT

NOW JOIN THE FILLED SURFACE WITH THE EXTRUDED SURFACE. NOW YOU GET A COMPLETELY CLOSED CAVITY SURFACE. AFTER GETTING THIS TO ENTER INTO A PART WORKBENCH TO MAKE IT A SOLID

AFTER GETTING BOTH A CORE AND CAVITY, TRANSLATE THE CORE FOR +50 mm and TRANSLATE THE CAVITY FOR 50 mm. KEEP THE PRODUCT MODEL AS 0 mm.
