Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_2_Box Assembly

BOX ASSEMBLY DESIGN

OBJECTIVE: TO DESIGN A BOX ASSEMBLY USING DESIGN TOOL SHEET METAL MODELING IN NX CAD

INTRODUCTION: Sheet metals are generally classified as metal sheets that have a thickness ranging from 0.4 mm to 6 mm. Different metals such as Steel, Aluminum, Copper, Brass, Nickel, Titanium can be made into sheets by rolling process. Sheet metals are widely used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, electronic appliance, construction, etc.

DESIGN METHODOLOGY:

DESCRIPTION:

FIRST DRAW A SKETCH

THEN APPLY TAB COMMAND

MAKE TWO FLANGES AS SHOWN BELOW

MAKE SIDE FLANGES AS SHOWN

CREATE CLOSED CORNER AS SHOWN

THEN CREATE FLANGES

THEN CREATE HEM AS PER DIMENSIONS

THEN EXTRACT BODY IN MODELING WORKBENCH

THEN MIRROR THE FEATURE

APPLY UNITE COMMAND

THEN DESIGN A DIMPLE ON BOX SIDE SURFACES

THEN ANOTHER DIMPLE AT BOTTOM

THEN APPLY CIRCULAR SHAPE BEADS AT BOTTOM

THEN DESIGN A HEM AT SIDE WALLS UPPER EDGE

THEN DRAW A SKETCH TO DESIGN A CAP FOR BOX

THEN APPLY TAB COMMAND

THEN MAKE SIDE FLANGES

THEN MAKE TAB AND SIDE CORNER AS SHOWN

THEN MAKE FLANGES AS SHOWN

MAKE ONE HEM HERE

MAKE UNBEND HERE AND DRAW A SKETCH FOR CUT OUT

MIRROR THE FEATURE

THEN CREATE A TAB AND CREATE A FLANGE THEN ONE HEM

AFTER THAT UNBEND AND DRAW A SKETCH FOR CUTOUT

THEN REBEND THE SHEET
