Draft analysis: Confirm capability of successful mold construction
- [PRESENTER] Now let's talk about actual manufacture-ability of the part from the point of view of the mold and the tooling that's needed to make this. So, one of the things that we talked about is that part line and using symmetry and certain points to help create a better part line. So let's see how we kind of did. If we go over here in fusion, there's the inspect tool and we can go to draft analysis. Now this is a super powerful tool. This helps us specify the draft angles of a, of a part. So we can select this direction here. And one of the things that I know I've mentioned this quite a bit, but I'm going to say it again that underlying geometry of how you start your model is really important because I referenced the origin throughout my model, I can simply select here the origin's construction plane to to reference my draft angle. It doesn't seem like a big deal, but it makes life really simple down the road. So…
