Week 9 - Attachment Feature Creation - Challenge 2

DOG HOUSE:

  • Dog house is an engineering feature used in plastic trim design.
  • Dog houses are used as supporting feature.
  • Sometimes other engineering features like snaps; locators etc. are mounded on them to increase their strength.
  • Dog houses are subjected to draft analysis to prevent breakage of the component during ejection from mould cavity.
  • Dog house and other engineering components are built on B-surface

Tooling Axis :

  • The direction in which the mold called the tooling axisor core and cavity opens is Tooling axis
  • Considering the ejection from the cavity of the mold after manufactering the interior trim must have the nominal 3 degree draft angle. Hence the tooling axis is crested by considering this factor
  • The white clour line is the tooling axis of this surface

Class A Surafce :

  • Class surface are the one which will be visible to the customer
  • It's the exterior of the parts
  • It has a optimal asthetic shape and high surface quality

Draft Analysis :

  • This type of analysis is performed based on colour ranges identifying zones on the analysed element where the deviation from the draft direction at any point.
  • The Green colour denotes the draft angle is in the standards (3 degree).
  • The Blue colour denoted its is below (3 degree).
  • The Red colour denotes the surface is not producable.

For class A :

For Part :

For Dog House:

Class B Surface :

  • Class B is the inner side of the Class a surface which will not be seen by the customer
  • where it will faced in the side of core
  • where the ejection will make there contact
  • It contains the engineering aspects of a model.

Class C Surface :

  • Surface that joins class-A and class-B surfaces is class-C surface.
  • Which will determine the thickness.
  • Class C is often specified for interior surfaces not readily visible.
