Week 9 - Challenge 3 - Bumper

BUMPER

AIM:

Create the Bumper Plastic component through the given Class-A surface. To begin with, the tooling axis for the given Class-A Surface should be created meeting the requirements of the draft angle and at the end perform the Draft analysis on the model. Take the Thickness of the component to be 3 mm.

Objective:

• Ensure Proper Tree Structure.
• Use the Close Surface feature to make a solid body from the surface.
• Publish the Tooling Axis, Class A, B, and C surface.

PROCEDURE:

CLASS A SURFACE:

In automotive design application Class A Surfaces are created on all visible exterior surfaces (ex; body panels, bumper, grill, lights etc.) and all visible surfaces of see-touch & feel parts in interior (ex: Dashboard, seats, door pads etc.).

Creation of Tolling axis:

To create the tooling axis first we have to check the best suitable direction for tooling by using the compass. the x direction is suitable for creating the tolling axis because in the x direction most of the surfaces are clearing while performing draft analysis. Generally tooling axis is created using bisecting line method but here A line normal to the surface is created in the x direction and considered the tooling axis.

Draft Analysis :

CREATION OF CLASS B SURFACE:

Class C Surface :

The Class C surface is the back side of a part of a surface that is permanently covered by another part.
