Week 9 - Challenge 2 - Switch Bezel Design

Draft Analysis

  • It is the Analysis in which we analyse the Class A Surface for the Manufacturability or Mouldability
  • In this We check whwther the pat can be mulded or not.
  • Basic principle here is, Every wall should be at an angle of 0.5° to 7° to the Tooling axis.
  • 3° is the nominal value
  • 7° is for textured surfaces.
  • 0.5° is minimum value, but it needs more investment (Generally not Preferred).
  • We first keep the Axis system on the tooling axis of the part.
  • Then select the part to be analysed.
  • It shows colours, If its green the Tooling axis created is correct.

Tooling Axis

  • It is an Axis in which we use for Moulding.
  • In Simple Words it the Direction of movement of the core.
  • Creation-
  • First we Create a dummy axis for any reference purpose.
  • We create it by Analysing the walls of the part.
  • Bisecting method is also used in this.
  • Prior we select any of two walls which are opposite and made a line along the direction
  • Then a Bisecting line is created using those two lines as input.
  • Again We select the third side and create two lines one on the side and another at the centre point of the botttom surface.
  • And a bisecting line is created with these lines.
  • At last Bisetting lines is created using these two bisectng lines as input.
  • That Bisecting Line is considered as the Tooling Axis.
