Week 9 - Challenge 1 - Base Bracket Design
A REPORT ON (CHALLENGE) 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.
Steps To Perform Given Task :
- Create Tooling axis and perform draft analysis for given model.
- Create Class B Surface from class A Surface .
- Create Class C Surface .
- Create a solid body using close surface command .
Create Tooling axis and perform draft analysis for given model :
To Create a tooling axis :
- Create dummy tooling axis by taking any hole or simple structure as reference .
- Create a intersection between the part and a plane ( Drafting can be expected to be difficult )
- Taking any two lines which might create problem for tooling direction , a line is created coinciding these lines .
- Bisecting line is created between these two lines
- The bisecting line is taken as Actual Tooling axis .

Perform Draft Analysis :
Draft analysis is performed using tooling axis as tooling direction
Minimum draft angle considered is 3 degree .
Value obtained less than 3 will be highlighted in red, These regions Drafting is not possible .Hence Tooling axis should be changed or additional process is to done to produce the part .
Create Class B Surface from class A Surface :
A set of process is to be done to obtain class B Surface from given Class A Surface .
These set of process given in tree structure below :
Create Class C Surface from class A Surface :
A set of process is to be done to obtain class C Surface from given Class A Surface .
These set of process s given in tree structure below :
