In 3D jig design, there are cases where attachments must be designed to fit complex product shapes.
The contact surface of the attachment can be created using the 3D product geometry.
Procedure:
[1] Place the product data and the shapes that will serve as the base for the attachments, such as [Block].
The product data and blocks must be placed in a way that allows them to be separated.
If trimming is not possible, it means that some parts are not reaching the surface or are otherwise in a state where calculation is not possible.
Please make adjustments by changing the placement or modifying the product geometry.
[2] Click [Trim] in the [Feature] tab.
[3] Select each item:
- Target Part: Product data
- Trimming Part: Data that will become the attachment, such as blocks
- Selections to Keep: The portion you want to retain
[4] Click [OK] at the top left of the [Properties] Browser to complete the operation.
Please refer to the video below.
