Week 9 - Challenge 1 - Base Bracket Design

AIM

   To 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.

DETAILED REPORT

• To open the given class A surface
• Create geometry set TOOLING and Create a POINT and DATUM PLANE with respect to YZ PLANE
• To create a dummy Tooling axis with respect to INTERSECTION
• To create a LINE 1 & LINE 2 with respect to the intersection and 
• To create BISECTING LINE as TOOLING AXIS.
• To create a Geometry set name as B SURFACE 
• B SURFACE has RIB 1 & RIB 2 to be created with the EXTRACT -> UNION TRIM -> EXTRAPOLATE -> TRIM -> OFFSET
• To create a BASE SURFACE and Create FINAL TRIM 
• FINAL TRIM to be created and used EDGE FILLET with radius 3mm.
• EDGE FILLET Name as B SURFACE
• To Create C surface 
• Boundary to be created in A SURFACE
• By using SWEEP command and JOIN the surface and TRIM the SURFACE
• After creating C SURFACE open the Draft analysis with the Tooling direction.
• OPEN the PART WORK BENCH create the close surface and select the C SURFACE.

DRAFT

 STEPS

• Set the customized render style
• Select the Draft analysis Tool
• Adjust the draft direction to moulding axis using the compass
• Observe the colour ranges

           GREEN - 3 degree above

            RED - 0 degree below

            BLUE - 0 ~ 3 degree

RESULT

   Thus, 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 to be completed.
