Week 9 - Challenge 1 - Base Bracket Design

Create the Base Bracket Plastic component through the given Class-A surface. To begin with, the tooling axis for

the given Class-A Surface should be created meeting the requirements of the draft angle and at the end perform

the Draft analysis on the model.

Thickness of Plastic Part - 2.5 mm

Input : Base Bracket .CATPART

Base Bracket .STEP

Base Bracket .IGES

use .STEP file for designing.

This file contains the Class - A Surface of the component.

The class A surface has different colored surfaces for easy understanding.

Tooling Direction :

In order to manufacture the desired shaped component, the Tooling direction and Draft angle must define while designing.

Here we have created a perpendicular plane to the component.

By using the Intersection command, got the intersection curve.

Draw an extended line on a slant surface with the reference of the intersection curve.

Then, create one bisecting line between two slant surface lines, which will be the

Tooling Axis for the component.
