Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_1_Casing Design
Casing Design Using Nx Cad
Objective
- Learning the Sheetmetal and associative workbench of NX CAD interface
- Learning about basic sheet metal features and its application to design casing.
Introduction- Sheet metal fabrication is the process of turning flat sheets of steel or aluminium into metal structures or products, by cutting, punching, folding and assembling. Sheet metal can be cut, bent or stretched into nearly any shape, which is generally done by cutting and burning the metal. pre-configured design guidelines DFM rules for design which helps to develop better quality parts at reduced cost. Some of the common sheet metal design guidelines included are minimum distance between holes, cutouts, slots, distance between holes, cutouts, slots to part edge and bends, multiple bends in same direction, minimum bend radius, minimum radius of rolled hem, open hem and tear drop hem, minimum flange width, minimum size of slots, holes and many other design guidelines. Here we are going to use the following tools to create the required part.
1-Sketch
