Sheet Metal Casing

Sheet Metal Casing

OBJECTIVE

• Understand the Application Layout of NX CAD.
• Using NX CAD Design Sheet Metal Casing.

INTRODUCTION

In the designing of Sheet Metal Casing by using NX CAD, the main purpose is to be familiar with the basic tools and understand the method of applying them.

DESCRIPTION OF TOOLS USED IN SHEET METAL CASING

Open NX12, Go to NEW Then Go SHEET METAL DESIGN, Go to File, Then Save then save as, Given File name and click ok.

• DATUM PLANE:- It provides an axis on the work base.

• SKETCH:- By the help of this tool 2D sketch to be drawn to get the desired shape.

• DESIGN PARAMETER:- This allows us to set the value of Material Thickness, Relief Depth, Bend Radius, Relief Width, K-Factor.

• TAB:- It converts 2D sketches into 3D.

• NORMAL CUTOUT :- It allows making holes as per the sketch and removing materials.

• BENDING:- It allows to bend materials from edges.

• FLANGE:- By this tools bend added at different angles and of different length at edge.

• BREAK CORNER (BLEND):- It allows for fillets on the corners.

• UNBEND:- It’s do flaten bend.

• HOLES:- It allows to make symmetric standard holes.

• STUDIO SPLINE:- By the help of points or poles used to create splines.

• MOVE CURVE:- It is used to rotate or move curves to get the desired place.

• DIMPLE:- It is used to lift an area in the Closed sketch of the model.

• BEAD:- It provied to apply stiffness to the surface ( Formed), get ovel shape ( Lanced), get ovel shape with relife angel ( Punched).

• MIRROR FEATURE:- Used to get mirrored images about the planes.

• REBEND:- Used to bend the unbend flanges in the model.

• RESIZE BEND ANGLE:- Used to adjust angle of the bends.

• DRAFTING (BASE VIEW):- It is used to get detail sketched.

DETAIL DRAWING:-

Conclusion:-

I understand the basic tools like rebend size & angle, Flat Pattern, Bend, Base View, Export the file into other formats.
