INTRODUCTION-

Casing may refer to an enclosing shell, tube or surrounding material. it may also refer as

• Casing borehole, metal tube used during the drilling of a well.
• Casing molding, decorative molding surrounding door or window openings
• Casing sausage, thin covering holding the food contents of sausage.

DESIGN METHODOLOGY-

DESCRIPTION-

• 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.

• 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.

• 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 of specifications of screws.

• DIMPLE: It is used to draw a dimple on selecting a curve for modelling 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.
