Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_1_Casing Design

Title : Advanced sheet metal design NX Cad - CASING

Objective : To design CASING - Advaced sheet metal design by using NX Cad & Prepare flowchart report and explanation for the same. Submit detailed drawing of casing.

Introduction :

• Sheet metal is metal formed by an industrial process into thin, flat pieces. It is one of the fundamental forms used in metalworking and it can be cut, bent into a variety of shapes.
• Materials which can be made into sheet metal - Alluminium, copper, brass, steel, nickel, tin and titanium.
• Sheet metal used to design - Machinery

- Automobiles

- Airospace

- wings, Enclosures, brackets, etc.
