Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_5_Odd Shaped Enclosure

Title: Odd shaped encloser using NX CAD.

Objective: To create odd shaped encloser using NX CAD.

Introduction:

Creation of odd shaped encloser i have used different features in NX CAD such as sheet metal from solid, extrude, unbend, flange, jog, bead. rebend, hole and flat pattern.

Design methodology:

Description:

Extrude:

Extrude is a method of defining 3D geometry by translating a 2D sketch normal to the sketch plane.

Sheet metal from solid body:

This tool is used to convert solid body to sheet metal.

Flange:

Its add flat surface or an angular surface on the edge of the surface to create an extended surface.

Jog:

The jog is used to create a flange by lifting the material on one side of the sketch profile.

Unbend:

It is used for unbend the corner of the body.

Bead:

It is used to create a conture shape according to the sketch in the required direction with required punch/die radius.

Hole:

A hole feature is used to create holes in the body.

Rebend:

It is used for bending corners of ther unbend body.

Flat pattern:

Flat pattern is used to create flat pattern view which is used for drafting purposes.
