Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_2_Box Assembly

Title : NX_Box_Assembly

Objective : To create Box assembly using NX in Sheetmetal Work bench. The box Assembly has various sheetmetal operations including Hinges.

Design Methodology:

• Create a new file
• Create rectangular base using Tab command
• Box walls are created using flange command of length 200mm
• Corners are closed using the closed corner feature.
• Flange and hem flange are used to lock the walls of the box
• A profile is created on one of the side walls of the box
• A dimple is created using the previous profile.
• Using mirror feature the dimple is mirrored on the wall
• Another rectangular shape dimple is created on the base of the Tab.
• Two beads are created on the base of the tab and mirrored on the other side
• Hem flange is created on the top of the four walls
• A datum plane is created from the base at 203mm
• Part is mirrored to create the complete box using mirror body command.
• Both the bodies are joined together using Unite command to make it single body.
• Lid is created using tab feature on the datum plane.
• Flanges are created on top of the lid.
• Using tab break corner flange and normal cutout Hinge is created on the side of the wall.
• Another hinge is mirrored adjacent to it by using mirror body command Similarly a hinge is created on the lid
• Appearance of the lid box top and bottom hinges are changed to desired colours.
• Hinge box Assembly is complete.
