Week 9 - Challenge 1 - Base Bracket Design

INPUT GIVEN :

CLASS A SURFACE (STYLING DATA) IS GIVEN.

NEED TO CREATE PLASTIC PART WITH GIVEN STYLING DATA.

USE CLOSED SURFACE COMMAND TO CREATE SOLID BODY.

CLASS A SURFACE :

THERE WAS A SMALL ERROR IN SURFACES SO I USED THE TRIM COMMAND INSTEAD OF JOIN.

JOINED USING TRIM COMMAND

MADE A COPY OF THE GIVEN CLASS A AND WORKED ON THAT.

CHECKED NO GAPS WITH BOUNDARY COMMAND

VISUALLY INSPECTED THE PART AND ASSUMED THAT IN Z+ IS TOOLING.

MARKED SURFACED PARALLEL TO THE TOOLING AXIS AND CHECKED FOR ITS DRAFT.

USING THE BISECTOR METHOD CHECKED FOR DRAFT ANGLE WHICH IS ALMOST PARALLEL TO TOOLING (ANGLE IS MORE THAN 3 DEGREES).

CREATING TOOLING AXIS

DRAFT ANALYSIS OF CLASS A SURFACE :

SHOWING ALL FACES IN GREEN

CLASS B SURFACE:

AFTER THIS STARTED TO CREATE B SURFACE BY OFFSETTING AND TRIMMING THE SURFACES (EXCEPT THE FILLETS)

EXTENDING THE SURFACE USING "UNTRIM" AND TRIMMED USING "TRIM"

ENSURING CLASS B IS LARGER THAN CLASS A.

TO AVOID ERRORS WHILE TRIMMING.

FILLETS ARE DONE BY ANALYSING IT WHETHER IT IS INSIDE OR OUTSIDE

CLASS C SURFACE :

STARTED TO CREATE C SURFACE USING BOUNDARY OF CLASS A AND TOOLING AXIS.

USINIG SWEEP COMMAND CLASS C IS CREATED.

CLASS A AND C JOINED.

TRIMMED WITH CLASS B

CLASS A+B+C

SOLID CREATED USING CLOSED SURFACE COMMAND.

FEATURE TREE OF THE PART

SOLID PART CLEARING DRAFT ANALYSIS 3 DEGREE :

DRAFT ANALYSIS OF THE PART IN VARIOUS VIEWS

CONCLUSION :

GAINED KNOWLEDGE OF DEVELOPING A PLASTIC PART FROM "CLASS A" TO "SOLID PART" AND DOING DRAFT ANALYSIS FOR BOTH.
