Week 9 - Attachment Feature Creation - Challenge 2
TOOLING AXIS CREATION
Tooling axis defines the movement of tooling (core & cavity).
First seek for the best possible direction for tooling axis.
Generally tooling axis is either in X, Y or Z direction whichever is best for tooling clearing.
In this case,
FOR MAIN TOOLING AXIS -
A flat surface from the class A model is selected for creating a point for tooling axis.
Create a point at center of the surface.
Introduce an axis system on the point.
Y-component is taken as the best possible direction for tooling axis through the created point.
SIDE CORE AXIS FOR DOGHOUSE -
X-component is taken as the best possible direction of tooling axis for DogHouse through the same point.
Bisecting method is used for creating a line as tooling axis between two possible directions through a point.
Bisecting method can be optional in this case.
DRAFT ANALYSIS
Change the view mode to Customize View Parameters and select the Material option from the Mesh.
FOR FINAL MODEL -
Introduce the compass, drag and align it with the line (MAIN TOOLING AXIS).
Lock the direction of the draft.
Draft angle compared within 0⁰ to 3⁰.
FOR ATTACHEMENT FEATURE -
01 -
Introduce the compass, drag and align it with the line (SIDE CORE AXIS).
Lock the direction of the draft.
Draft angle compared within 0⁰ to 1.48⁰.
02-
Introduce the compass, drag and align it with the line (MAIN TOOLING AXIS).
Lock the direction of the draft.
Draft angle compared within 0⁰ to 1.48⁰.
