Week 9 - Challenge 2 - Switch Bezel Design

SWITCH BEZEL DESIGN:

Notations:

Maintained proper tree stucture and gave proper name to geometric set.
All sketches and surfaces have made under geometric set and close surface command is under part body.
Also publicated tooling axis, class A, B and C surface and took thickness of component 2.5mm.

Design steps:

Before making any plastic product surface design we need to create tooling axis and with the help of different surfaces we can create tooling axis and for tooling axis, Bisecting command is used.
After making tooling axis with the help of bisecting command then need to create Class B surface with help of Class A surface. And use of extract, offset, trim, extrapolate, untrim and etc. command we can create Class B surface.
After Class B surface with help of multi-extract we can generate boundry line of Class A surface which help to create Class C surface and for smooth and curvature surface we used smooth curvature command on generated boundry line.
After that need to join Class A and Class C surface for trim with Class B surface to get proper final body and after that creating final solid body need to use Close surface command.

Tooling axis creating steps:

For tooling axis first need to check surfaces where we can create tooling lines and for like this complex surface need to create sketches and then with the help of bisecting we can create tooling axis.
We can see below which surface i selected for line and how sketch has been drawn.
