Challenge

Week 9 - Challenge 2 - Switch Bezel Design

Aim: - Create the Switch Bezel Plastic component through the given Class-A surface. Perform the Draft Analysis on the Switch Bezel.

Introduction

Tooling Axis

Draft Analysis

The draft analysis is done on the basis of the Tooling Axis in order to find whether the final product is done as per the Design rules.
The Draft angle which is assigned to the Tooling Axis defines the analysis.
The Nominal Draft angle for the plastic product is 3 degrees.

Class A

Class A is the aesthetic surface.
Class A is created on the basis of a concept sketch or by the predefined shape on the basis of the design engineer and customer requirements.
Class A is given to the Product design engineer in order to get the final solid part.

Class B

Class B is the surface that is created by the product design engineer in order to get the final product from the class A surface.
Class B is created based on the thickness of the final solid part.
In other words, Class B is an Extended version of Class A with some thickness gap between them.

Class C

Tree Structure

Draft Analysis of Class A Surface:

To perform draft analysis on Class A surface, change the view mode to material mode.

Select the Draft Analysis option from the analysis tools. Coincide the compass on the tooling axis created and click on the lock direction.

color code for the draft angle i.e. green for above 2.9 degrees, Blue for 0-3 degrees, and red for angle value lesser than 0.
