Sheet Metal Casing Design Using NX
TILTIE - DESIGN OF SHEET METAL USING SEIMENS NC CAD
OBECTIVE - To learn about the sheet metal, workbench of NXCAD interface and some basic features of NXCAD sheet metal and its application for designing the sheet metal casing.
INTRODUCTION - Sheet metal fabrication is the process of forming desired parts from metal sheets using punching, cutting, bending and stamping. The material formed from this sheet metal are very durable and possess high strength. Here we're creating a design for casing in NxCad considering the sheet metal parameter of 1mm sheet.
DESIGN METHODOLOGY -
DESCRIPTION - The casing designing has been carried with the help of the above flowchart. The sheetmetal paramater have been set and thickness have been set at 1mm.
TAB FEATURE - It is similar feature to extrude where we can tranform 2D drawing into 3D drawing. Base sketch is required to complete this part of the function.
NORMAL CUTOUT - Using Normal-Cutout feature we can exclude desired material from the required location.
BEND - As the name of the feature indicates it helps to bend the sheetmetal with refrence to bending line to various angle measuring from the fixed surface.
FLANGE - This feature is used to bend/ flange structures to the edges of the sheetmetal. We can set the bend angle too.
BREAK CORNER - This feature is used to smooth out the edges of the corners by creating chamfer shape.
UNBEND - This feature is used to unbend all the flanges and bends into flat surface.
HOLE - This feature is used to create a hole using screw paramaters.
DIMPLE - This is a stamp tool which is used to lift certain boundaries of the body.
BEAD - This feature is also a kind of stamping tool which lifts the material along the counter of the sketch
REBEND - This featue is used to undo the unbending command which was used prior.
FLAT-OUT - This feature is used to flat pattern the selected region
DRAFTING - It is the representation of the entire sheet metal where we can see all the feature applied over the surface.
