Week 9 - Challenge 2 - Switch Bezel Design

OBJECTIVE

The objective of the project is to design the switch bezel and to do a draft analysis for it by creating the required tooling direction with the help of Bisecting method.

DESIGN CONSIDERATION:-

Class – A surface should be aesthetically smooth and good.
Class – B surface should have all the supporting features like ribs.
Parting Line should coincide with the B surface since flashing couldn’t affect the aesthetic of Class – A.
Class – C surface should also pass the draft analysis.

Given CLASS-A surface

Now create a tooling axis

now start to create a surface

now before creating fillets measure it from refrance since we have ofsetted it the fillet value has to be given according to the thickness

create a CLASS-C surface

While creating surface create it with 3 degree draft angle which is prefered industry standerd

now join both CLASS-C with CLASS-A

Trim it with CLASS-B

Now go to Part Design and thicken the part

Now do a draft anaylsis on the component

Tree structure format

CONCLUSION

Finally the Class – A, B&C surfaces with the Tooling Direction have been Published and the Switch Bezel is moved on to the designing of the next operation – the creation of B-side features.
