Week 9 - Challenge 3 - Bumper

REPORT:

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. 
•  The Thickness of the component to be 3 mm.

Commands Used:

• Point,Line,Multiple Extract,Split,Trim,Un-Trim,Extrapolate,Offset,Edge fillet,Boundary,Sweep,Join,Fill,Close Surface.

Procedure:

Class-A Surface:

• This is the given Class-A Surface of a bumper.

Tooling Axis:

• To create a tooling axis, a point is plotted on the curve of the bumper.Using point-direction method a line is created in the X-direction.This line is Known as Tooling Axis.

Draft Analysis:

• Draft Analysis is performed on the class-A surface.

Class-B Surface:

• to Create class-B surface, directly offset the class-A surface upto 3mm.

• As the class-A surface is directly offseted, some patches are missing on the offseted surface.

• All these missing patches are formed using extract,boundary,extrapolation operations and then trim the unwanted surface to get the desired shape.
• Join the trimmed surfaces and the provide the fillet values to form the class-B surface.

Class-C Surface:

• Class-C surface is created using boundary,sweep,extrapolate operations on the class-A surface.
• Then trim the unwanted surfaces to create class-C surface.

Join Class-A surface & Class-C surface:

Final Trim:

• Unhide the class-A & class-C join and class-B surface.Then trim the unwanted surfaces to form bumper plastic component.

Close Surface:

• Using close surface,a solid model of the bumper is created from the plastic comonent.
