Once again thnks !
I didn't get much useful info. But, what I understood is as below:
So If we arrange to suck the heated plastic against the master pattern & it generates the shape of the pattern. Allow it to cool & have your part ready.
Doesn't it looks like Thermo form part rather than...
Thanks for reply, For the RTV Silicon mold,
make SLA Master pattern; Pour the silicon rubber around the pattern & Urethane can be used to fill the part.
I should have more clarified question at the first time,
(1) The question is does Vaccum forming having similar process like RTV Silicon...
I need to order 20-25 prototype plastic parts for testing.
Can anyone suggest economic prototype method? (famililar with SlA/SLS but its limted for very few qty)
Also, can anyone tell me the difference between Silicon RTV & Vaccum forming in terms of prototype method. Suggest, any website/book...
I have given GD & T Condition for mount hole location -
1st box having diametric tolerance of 5 mm & three more box with datum A, B & C. (There is no Max or min material condition). Also, There is a basic dimension from datum A,B,C to hole. The hole dia is 25 mm, Making the hole through...
First apply the draft & then apply fillet,
That's always true for plastic part, Isn't it?
(1) I'm trying to solve the mystery why I'm loosing the thickness at the corner ? (I used the draft version of sketch, extruded & then applied 35 mm radius at 2 corner & lost the thickness. Due to lost...
Hello!
I have few ribs with uniform thickness 1.5 mm in my model. (the shape of rib is similar to U shape except there is a flat edge at the bottom with end corner)
Now, I would like to apply draft but not getting success.
I tried to create a sketch with draft angle & did work but there is 35...
Thnks for reply,
Just one more question wanted to raise related to my previous model (enabled hybrid design)
& the the one that i will be making new one for the same model(without hybrid design or with geomtric set).
Actually, I will be end up doing the same operation like boolean operation...
That's the quick reply but to avoid next time any big mistakes, I will appreciate if you can reply few more ans,
(A) Which option you want me to choose out of three?
(1)Enable hybrid design,
(2) Create a geometrical set
(3) Create an ordered geometrical set
(B) Is any way to find if the...
Basically, I do have HD2, catia v5 R16 license & novice user. I tried to read the past reply @ hybrid desgin
& learned that when we use surface (open bodies) & solid together, assuming class A surface people will need more.
on my system,
The default clicked option is - Enable hybrid design...
As you know, When we start new part, we get 3 options,
(1) enable hybrid design
(2) Create a geometrical set
(3) Create an ordered geometrical set
So which option I need to click when starting new part,
(my part is hollow one with few ribs)
I don't see any problem right away by clicking "yes"...
I'm trying to assemble two different bodies & getting follwing message:
"You are trying to create boolean operation which breaks relation order between geometrical elements. Operand body will not be moved under the boolean feature, Do you want to continue?"
What action should I take?
Need to add text ( material marking, OEM symbol etc) on the injection molding tool.
Does it any standard insert can be used or need to engrave on tool?
Can I view .exp file in catia v5? (.exp was imported from catia v4 file)
I know that .model can be easily view in catia v5 system.
But, currently my hummingbird system is not working & the only file i can make out of v4 is .exp.
Does anyone have suggestion?
