Week 9 - Challenge 2 - Switch Bezel Design
SWITCH BEZEL
A switch bezel is the frame or housing that surrounds a switch, typically in automotive or electronic applications. It serves both functional and aesthetic purposes, ensuring the switch is securely mounted while also providing a clean, finished look.
Thickness of the component 2.5mm.
The Tooling Axis was created bisecting the outer border ofthe class A surface. This was the best tooling axis that cleared all the surfaces of the switch bezel.
Below is the Design tree structure of the model:
The colour code of the draft analysis is as below:
Draft analysis of the Class A Surface:
As seen in the above figures the Class A Surface clears all the surfaces during the draft analysis.

The minimum angle required for the front forward edge is 2.686.
The minimum angle required for the backside edge is 2.243deg.
The minimum angle required at front right side edge is 2.12deg.
The minimum angle required at the frontmost edge is 1.995deg which is only class A area that might slightly fail in draft.
As seen in the figures the switch bezel plastic model passes the draft analysis.
