SWITCH BEZEL DESIGN

DRAFT ANALYSIS

The draft analysis made to make sure that the part can be manufactured.It also ensure draft angle is rom 1 to 3 degree.If teh draft angle is more the part cannot be manufactured.

Draft angles are very important in thermoforming product design. If the product is formed onto a negative mold, it shrinks away from the mold sidewalls. As a result, negative products can be thermoformed with vertical walls having zero draft angles.

With draft angle the part can be ejected easily from the mold.

Tooling axis : Tooling axis shows taht in which way that core and cavity is opened.

Steps to create tooling axis

Extracting the base surface
And creating point on the surface
By using line command point -point type the two line are created
Again going to line command and biscuting line type and selecting the point to point lines created before and selecting the vertex.

The method i used to create the tooling axis

Class A surafce

Class A is a aesthic surface which is smooth with thickness less than 1mm.

Class b surface

B surface offseted to the thickness of 2.5mm length the required thickness of teh component is 2.5mm.

C surface

The class C surface hepls to join A and B.The class c surface is created by using sweep command and sub type as draft angle with the help of tooling axis.
