Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_2_Box Assembly

TItle : Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_2_Box Assembly

Objective : To create BOX ASSEMBLY - Advanced sheet metal designing using NX CAD

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.
