Advanced Sheet metal Design Using NX cad Challenge 5 Sheet Metal Part for Odd Shapes:
Sheet Metal Part for Odd Shapes
Objective:
The objective of the project is to design Sheet Metal Part for Odd Shapes using siemens NX Cad software.
Introduction
Sheet metal is metal formed by an industrial process into thin, flat pieces. Sheet metal is one of the fundamental forms used in metal working, and it can be cut and bent into a variety of shapes. Countless everyday objects are fabricated from sheet metal. In this project we are designing Sheet Metal Part for Odd Shapes.
Design Methodology and Procedure for Creating Sheet Metal Part for Odd Shapes:
Features used
Sheet metal design tools or features are explained here
Tab: Tab is basically used for creating a base, it is main feature to create any sheet metal parts, it gives thickness to the material.
Bend: Bend modifies the sheet metal parts by bending it according to profile.
Flange: Adding flange gives sheet metal by selecting edge of base of the model, it gives flange to the base of the model in an angle and desired length.
Unbend: Flattens the bended area.
Bead: Lifts the material along the contour of a sketch that simulate stamping tool.
ReBend: It is used to restore the unbend feature to bend feature.
Flat Pattern: Creates the flat pattern from the formed sheet metal part.
