Week 9 - Project 1 - Door Applique Design with Engineering Features

AIM: To create a door applique with locators and heat stakes.

OBJECTIVES:

1. To create a tooling axis and perform draft analysis on the given class A surface.
2. To create a door applique part from class A surface by creating class B and C surface.
3. To create locators to arrest degrees of freedom.
4. To create heat stakes to join the applique and door attachment surface.
