Week 9 - Attachment Feature Creation - Challenge 2

AIM:

To create the Dog House for the Door Trim considering the design rules mentioned in the video. Consider the thickness of the part to be 2.5 mm.

"C" is where the doghouse contacts the backside of the surface

Doghouse wall thickness at the intersection of the part wall ( C ) should be 40% or less than the main wall stock ( T ).

The height of ( B ) should be between 3.0 – 6.0 mm

Given class A surface

Creation of Tooling Axis:

TOOLING AXIS:

By taking into account this tooling axis, the draught angle that is required to be provided is nothing more than the direction in which the mould opens and shuts. The bisecting technique allows us to make a tooling axis.

Draft Analysis:

DRAFT:

Draft angle is nothing more than giving the part a tapered area for simple release from the mould during manufacture. This is notably done when designing plastic components with complicated shapes. Although it typically has a 3-degree draught angle, it can change depending on the component that needs to be constructed.
