Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_1_Casing Design

Title of the Project :Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Casing Design

Objective:

The main objective of this project is to design a sheet metal casing in NX cad sheet metal application workbench. Also to perform the drafting for the casing part.

Introduction:

Casing can protect the sensitive inner components from damaging, accidents etc.,

• laptop is used sheet metal casing to the outer body.
• Casing borehole, metal tubes used for drilling a well.

SKETCH:- This is used to create a basic sketch of the design on selecting the desired plane, then later it can be modeled for the requirement. Create new file of sheet metal model Then set the Sheet metal preference to 1mm.

• TAB:- This feature is used to create a base tab on selecting the curve drawn in sketch mode with the appropriate thickness on our desire and it can easily convert that sketch into the sheet.
• NORMAL CUTOUT: -This feature is used to cut the portions of the sheet metal by assigning sketch curves.
• BEND:- This feature is used to bend the sheet metal along the sketched curve upon our requirement.it bend as per default value initially we take while select the sheet metal workbench.
• FLANGE:- Flange is used to add flanges on selecting the edges of our sheet metal, it is working as a BEND feature along with that extra material can be added by adjusting the length of the flange.
• BREAK CORNERS:- Break corners are used to make the edges round for easy handling when using.
• UNBEND:- Unbend is a feature used to analyze the model whether a part was perfectly assigned the features, which ensures for a modeler to do further operations on it.
• HOLE:- It is actually used for making the holes on the requirement for further assembly of the part by assigning different types o of specification of screw and clamping components.
• DIMPLE:- It is used to draw a dimple on selecting a curve for modeling the sheet.
• BEADS:- This feature is used to create a bead on the sheet which generally strengthens it.
• MIRROR:- It is used to add the material or feature replicates by acting as a mirror to it, this generally reduces the modeling time.
• REBEND:- This is used to re-bend the object after all conformations and ready for production.
• DRAFTING: It is used to provide the dimensions and views of the designed part to the manufacturing team.
• Side view
• Isometric View

Conclusion

While designing a casing I have understand and learnt different tools such as Tab, Flange, Dimple, Bending, unbending and many more in sheet metal of NX.The modelling of the sheet metal casing using NX CAD has successfully completed and though this project I can able to know the various GUI of NX and different comments and tool use in various sheet metal modelling.
