Imprint part into solid?

[Anonymous]

Hello,

could somebody help me with this problem please?

I have a plastic part and I need negative shape of it imprinted into solid. Something like if you push that part few centimeters into block of clay or something.I want to create some fixture in which can this part fits and sits. For Inventor mold creating environment is this part too complex.

What is the easiest way to accomplis that?

Thank you.

Take a look at the core/cavity portion from the help file.

Hello,

I tried this but my part has open top and thin walls, so with this method, inside of my part was filled with that blank. What did I wrong?

Thank you.

Hello,

I tried this as well but my part is more like assembly = to complex for this (combining bodies doesn't help). Core/Cavity design is pretty strict and I have problem to create Runoff surface.

Thankx anyway.

Have you tried doing an assembly cut using the cavity components as the cut edges?

Hello,

I have a few different parts I would like to resolve, so doing it for me doesn't help in a long run... if you know what I mean.

But thank you.

If there are no holes or gaps in the part you "push in" the "fill" should be easy to get rid of with the "Select Lump or Void"option of "Delete Face" (usually tucked under the modify section of the 3D Model tab).

Why don't you use combine on the 3D Model tab, Modify panel? Create a new block enveloping your part then use combine to subtract your body out of the block. Additionally use split to get separate bodies for upper/lower mould parts.

Attach the part here if you can't do it.

No, I don't know what you mean.

I would make the opposite argument.

Inventor is a history-based tool, so by studying how one problem was solved - I can learn to solve many similar problems.

That is exactly how I learned Inventor.

In fact, I have often seen different users post 5 or 6 solutions here, each one building on the previous solution - eventually arriving at very elegant solutions using techniques that I might not have thought of.

The internet serves as a collaboration laboratory.  A "collaboratory" if you will.  Crowd sourcing of experience and brain-power that is greater than any individual capability.
