Casing Design in Siemens NX CAD
Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NXCAD (Challenge 1 Casing Design)
Objective:
This challenge aims to create a “Casing Design” using different types of tools/features.
Later creating a detailed drawing sheet of it as well.
What is NX CAD?
NX CAD is an advanced high-end CAD/CAM/CAE software used for designing models etc. It was formerly known as Unigraphics owned by Siemens PLM Software.
What is Sheet Metal?
Sheet metal is a thin and flat piece of metal formed by rolling or hammering, sheets are available in many different metals, namely aluminum, copper, brass, steel, gold, silver, etc.
Tools used to create the Casing:
- Sketch
- Tab
- Flange
- Bend
- Normal Cutout
- Unbend
- Dimple
- Bead
- Rebend
- Break Corner
- Flat Pattern
