Week 9 - Challenge 2 - Switch Bezel Design

Tooling Axis Creation

• Select the YZ plane and position Sketch
• choose Intersect 3D element and touch the class A surface, An horizontal intersect line will create.
• project the origin point to the extracted bottom surface.
• click line command (point to point) and touch both sides of 2 points which makes the draft angle.
• Choose the bisecting Line command then touch both lines.
• Now, click the XZ plane and position sketch
• choose Intersect, and touch the class A surface, with the XZ plane. An intersect line will create on the class A surface.
• click line command (point to point) and touch one side of the wall on which draft analysis has to be done.
• click the line command and sketch the line on the XZ plane which will make 3 deg angle from the side wall.
• Now, We have the 2 Tooling axis.
• so for the exact tooling axis, we will use the bisection line method.

2. Draft analysis

• Select the Feature Draft Analysis
• click the part and define the tooling Direction
• Green Side is showing that the part will be made according to the Draft Angle which is 3 degrees and there will no erosion between the Tool and Plastic parts.
• The blue side is showing a negative Draft angle (interference) or is impossible to draw the part according to the draft angle.
