Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_1_Casing Design
CASING DESIGN USING NX CAD
Objective
To design an advanced casing using the sheet metal application in siemens NX.
Introduction
Creating sheet metal casing using NX cad I have various tools used to create casing were sketch, tab, normal cutout, bend, flanges, holes, break cobreaknbending , studio spline, move curve, dimple, bead, mirror feature, rebending, flat pattern, drafting.
Description
- Tab
It is used this command to create a base feature by extruding a sketch along a vector by a thickness value, or by adding material to existing faces and bend region of a sheet metal part.
- Normal cutout
It is used to cut or create a gap in sketch.
- Flange
It is used this command to add a flat flange at an angle to a planar face and add a bend between the two. A flange consists of a bend region and a web.
- Bend
Bend is used to create a bend in the flat body.
- Break corner
It is used to convert the sharp edges to the smooth edges of the corner.
- Unbend
It is used for unbending corners of the body.
- Hole
A hole feature is used to create holes on the model.
- Dimple
It is used to lift an area shown in sketch to make an impression on the sheet metal.
- Bead
It is used to create a contour shape according to the sketch in the required direction with required punch/die radius.
10. Mirror feature
This is used to mirror a feature along a specific direction.
11.Flat pattern
Flat pattern is used to create flat pattern view which is used for drafting purposes.
12. Drafting
It helps to create 2D drawing from a 3D model.

Conclusion
The casing was designed and drawings were successfully displayed in this project report. The model was designed and the drawings were created using Siemens NX.
