Week 3 – w/c 7/10/19
DFM Injection Moulding
This week we had another lecture on various things to consider when making a casing for injection moulding on Solidworks. The thickness of the paint once applied, was a key thing to think about as it would eventually with layers make the model bigger and could result in parts not fitting together.
Solidworks Tutorial
This week we were also given a lecture on how to shell, add ribs and bosses to our designs, making them more accurately replicate an injection moulded part.
This was helpful as I was not full confident with how to actually shell a part without doing an internal cut extrude.
Continuing with Concept Ideation and Development
Along with designing and sketching more concepts for the other casing I also made 3 CAD models of some casings on Solidworks.
