Week 9 - Challenge 3 - Bumper

Tooling axis is created in a model to check whether the model done in software can be manufactured without any error while in live manufacturing process.

Steps involved in creating tooling axis:

<!-- [if !supportLists]-->1.        <!--[endif]-->Need to check whether the provided surface is having full connectivity.

<!-- [if !supportLists]-->2.      <!--[endif]-->Check about the X, Y and Z axis of the surface on which axis the part can be manufactured with less toolings.

<!-- [if !supportLists]-->3.      <!--[endif]-->Once axis is fixed we need to create a intersecting geometry for the surface about that axis.

<!-- [if !supportLists]-->4.      <!--[endif]-->Generally the perpendicular features to the tooling axis can be achieved, one need to have a look about the parallel features.

<!-- [if !supportLists]-->5.      <!--[endif]-->Thus it can be checked by the draft analysis feature.

<!-- [if !supportLists]-->6.      <!--[endif]-->For draft analysis one need to have a bisecting line which will be considered as the tooling axis of the surface.

<!-- [if !supportLists]-->7.       <!--[endif]-->The bisecting line should be taken in consideration of all axis apart from the tooling direction.

<!-- [if !supportLists]-->8.      <!--[endif]-->Once the angle is achived in draft analysis, one can be confident that the part can be manufactured with less tooling and errors.

<!-- [if !supportLists]-->9.      <!--[endif]-->Generally the minimum draft anglle followed all over the industries is about 3 degree.

<!-- [if !supportLists]-->10.     <!--[endif]-->Thus by draft analysis one can confirm whether the proposed model is feasibile for live manufacturing or not.
