Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_1_Casing Design
1. Title : Advance Sheet metal design with NX CAD - 1 -Challenge_1_Casing Design
2. Objective:
To design the sheet metal casing as per dimensions provided in the master sketch with the help of Seimens NX CAD software
3.Introduction :
- The material which posses properties to get formed into thin sheet are called as sheet metals.
- Sheet metal have uniform thickness and Thickness ranges from 0.15mm to 6mm, below 0.15mm is called as foil and above 6mm is called as plates.
Sheet Metal forming process include
Rolling, forging, extrusion , Deep drawing, Punching, piercing, Lancing
Applications include :
- Aircraft bodies
- Automobiles
- Utensils used for domestic purpose
- Beverage cans
