Week 9 - Challenge 2 - Switch Bezel Design

Tooling Axis:

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

There are Some advantages if we follow the effective tooling axis like

The side cores and other things can be reduced.

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

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

  Bisecting method:

  There are several ways to create a tooling axis, one of the methods is the Bisection method, where the line is created by bisecting the other lines and the point.

  Step1:

  The intersection is crated directly in a sketch by using intersection option, were created by simply using intersection tool

  Step 2:

  The lines are drawn by taking the intersection lines are references. Just make sure to select the two points as a line type.

  Step 3:

  The two lines were drawn by simply selecting the two points.

  Step 4:

  The tooling axis is created by using the line tool, just make sure that to select the bisection option as a line type.

  Step 5:

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

  Analyze the Draft:

  To Analyze the draft angle use the draft analysis tool feature.
