Week 9 Challenge

sliders design for Cpu fan case model,

 brief overview of slider design of cpu fan case assembly ,

  the Cpu fan case model had lot of undercuts and  the best possible undercuts were generally covered in parting line itself and other undercuts were covered with help of sliders.

1. slider 1 on core side.

 Slider 1 was generally designed to catch the undercut on core side of mold as the undercut present there will not allow proper removal of part from mold.so slider was designed for it .and The section from where the undercut will be produced was selected on and plane was also selected and the portion of that split was used as slider .the edits were done on slider and proper guideways were provided for arresting its degree of freedom.bolting on guideways was done so that it can freely translate.

2.slider 2 on cavity side .

 The slider on cavity side was generally produced to catch the undercuts on cavity side because it would have created the problem in removal of the part .The splt comand is used for it and the plane from where the split should begin is selected properly and the whole area is covered thereafter.and the proper split is created according to it.the split is generally in cavity side so the slider is extended to core side and the guideways are created for bolting.

3.washers and bolts.

they are generally created to bolt the sliders on the guideways fo easy movement.

4.Inserts.

Insersts are provided onto core sides because certain two sections cannot be easily manufactured due to space and length and tool constraints so the inserts are provided for it so that the manufacturing and insertion of the part will be easy.
