Mr. Christoph Schmotz 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2016 Hello everyone! I am new to this software and now there are some difficulties I do not know how to solve.I want to create a injection moulding screw tip like this one:https://www.arburg.com/fileadmin/redaktion/bilder/galerie_747px/12753_return_valve.jpgThe general cone already exists. I simply made it with PolyCurve and Surface of Revolution.And now I want to "cut out" parts of it, so i can create the "wings". I also want this for the design study to generate a different number of "wings". Unfortunately I have no idea how to. Thanks in advace! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karsten Wenzke 12 Report post Posted January 26, 2016 Hey Christoph, Can you attach your project file.Then I can take a look at it and don't have to start from scratch. Cheers, Karsten Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Christoph Schmotz 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2016 Hello Karsten! Of course, I seperated the tip for you in a single file. Hopfully, it is not complete nonsense I made.The tip should be controlled by the opening angle gamma, the radius of the cap and the diameter D8 and D1.And in the next step, there should be the "cut out". Thanks for helping! tip.fdbc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Claus Abt 14 Report post Posted January 27, 2016 Hi Christoph, I quickly set up a model using a Brep. There are other options, too. I actually did not put any effort into parameterizing the piece, I guess you have to do that yourself by setting parameters to the point locations that for the contour and the cutout. here is the project file I created (I guess different dimensions to yours ...)injectorValve.fdb Best regardsClaus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Claus Abt 14 Report post Posted January 27, 2016 I added a few parameters and dimension visualization. Have fun ..Claus injectorValveRev1.fdb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
