Beveled Edge

[JasonB]

Hi,

I am having a very difficult time trying to put a beveled edge onto a an injection molded polycarbonate design.

I have attached two images.

The first image shows a rough part and points to the edge where I am trying to create the bevel.

The second image has a rough estimation of the beveled edge I am trying to achieve, however, it is floating out from the part. How do I create such an edge on the part?

Thanks,

Modeling of that geometry is not supported as it can't be milled from one of the 6 standard views, however it is machinable. Therefore you would need to use the Comments To Machinist feature. It's more cost efficient to try to make designs that can be machined from the standard views.

I was afraid of that. Is this a limitation of the software, or a limitation of the machinery/tooling? I am trying to make a reproduction of a pre-existing broken part made of the same material (polycarbonate). I'm pretty sure the original piece was injection molded and not milled in anyway.

If you are trying to prepare an order, you can do so using Comments To Machinist for the bevel, whether you choose milling or molding. Please see Comments to Machinist.
