Week 9 - Challenge 1 - Base Bracket Design

Draft Analysis:- Draft analysis is a process of evaluating the angles of a part's geometry and the direction of its features relative to its mold's parting line. This analysis helps identify any issues or problems that may arise during the manufacturing process.

Tooling Axis:- The tooling axis of the product tells us the direction of movement where the part is being produced effectively.

The tooling axis has to be produced by considering some criteria like

• Direction of movement
• Bosses and other references have to be considered.

Bisecting Method:- It is the method to define the toolling Axis for complex parts of the Draft body.

Step1:

Create the plane on Dummy tooling axis so that we can make an intersection.

Step 2:

Through the inetsection command make the sketch cross the A surface.

Step 3:

With the help of line definition make two lines on both the left and right side of the tooling axis through point to point command.

Step 4:

Again we will use the line definition for making the main tooling axis with help of the bisecting tool.

Step 5:

Bisecting lines are drawn by simply selecting the lines that are drawn above and the middle point.
