DOOR APPLIQUE DESIGN WITH ENGINEERING FEATURES
OBJECTIVE
INTRODUCTION
The Draft allows the part to easily eject from the mold. The draft angle is to reduce friction between the core, cavity and part and it also avoid the damages. The minimum draft angle is 0.5 degree and the most common draft angle used in the plastic design is 3 degrees.
In CATIA the draft analysis is performed based on colour ranges identifying zones on the analysed element where the deviation from the draft direction at any point, corresponds to specified values.
Tooling direction is the main element that to be consider while designing a plastic component. In moulding machine the arrangement is given to open the mould along the direction. It is the direction in which the core and cavity opens.
CLASS A SURFACE
1.Visible surface and aesthetic look
2.Surface with textures
3.Surfaces provided by customer(OEM)
4.Don't have any features like(rib ,snap ,bosses etc.) on class A surface.
5.Class A surface is made from scanned data with different software like alias etc..
6.Surfaces which is having CURVATURE CONTINUITY IS CALLED class-A.
CLASS B SURFACE
1.Invisible Surfaces.
2.Surface mostly don't have textures
3.Surface need to be create according to class-A surface.
4.Having all features(Rib, boss, snap etc.) in B-side surface only.
5.Surfaces which is having TANGENT CONTINUITY IS CALLED class-B
CLASS C SURFACE
Which join both Class-A and Class-B Surface
LOCATING PINS
HEAT STAKES
METHODOLOGY
GIVEN CLASS – A SURFACE (DOOR APPLIQUE)
PROCEDURE
Continuity check:
TOOLING AXIS
DRAFT ANALYSIS
CLASS B SURFACE
CLASS C SURFACE
LOCATORS CREATION
HEAT STAKES CREATION
CREATING CLEARANCE IN COUNTER PART
Perform draft analysis to the solid body (door applique)
FEATURE TREE
CONCLUSION
Thus the class B, class C surface were created and engineering features like locators and heat steaks where created . draft analysis is performed successfully
