Saad Mohammed NX Bracket

Design of a Bracket using NX Cad

Objective: My Aim in designing Bracket is to get use various features available in Siemens NX sheet metal application and to learn how these features can be used in sheet metal design.

Introduction: Sheet metal is one of the most versatile materials in the manufacturing industry. It’s made from steel, aluminum, brass, copper, tin, nickel, titanium, or precious metals. It ranges in thickness from the wispy leaf through the light foil to a heavy plate. It takes a variety of forms: plain flat sheets, embossed, etched, ribbed, corrugated, and perforated. sheet metal brackets are widely used in the field of mechanical, electrical, welding, etc., and can be used for producing a variety of products like mounting brackets, wall brackets, TV brackets, and metal brackets, etc.,

Methodology: Top-Down Design Approach

Description: Features used for modeling bracket are contour flange, normal cutout, break corner, Bead to lift material along the contour of the sketch that simulates a stamping stool, Bend to bend the material, Flange to create flanges, Unbend to unbend the metal sheet, Holes for adding holes, dimple to create a deformation on the sheet metal, and Rebend.
