Week 9 - Challenge 1 - Base Bracket Design
A report on base bracket design
draft analysis
- The draft analysis determines whether the part is manufacturable or not. The forming processec which uses the core and cavity to manufacture the parts always required some draft. Draft allows the formed part inside mold to get eject from the core and cavity.
- It helps the part to leave the mold surface in the erlier stage of ejection or mold opening. Hence reduce the friction between the part and mold which results long life of core and cavity and production of finished parts.
draft analysis of Class A and Tooling Direction in CATIA
- Tooling direction is the direction of opening and closing of the core and cavity.
Process to create tooling axis in CATIA:
- For the given class A surface, the tooling direction is taken along with Z axis which is suitable for core and cavity opening.
- A point and plane is been given at the centre of the front hole.
- An intersection is taken along with the plane and the outermost inclined lines have been extended on both sides with certain value.
- Then a bisecting line is created using the two lines on either sides which is going to be the tooling axis.
