Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_5_Odd Shaped Enclosure
Title: Odd Shaped Enclosure
Objective: Design sheet metal Odd Shaped Enclosure using Siemens NX CAD.
Introduction: Sheet metal is metal formed by an industrial process into thin, flat pieces. Sheet metal is one of the fundamental forms used in metalworking, and it can be cut and bent into a variety of shapes. Countless everyday objects are fabricated from sheet metal.
Design Methodology:
Description of Features used in the design of Odd Shaped Enclosure:
Select the XY plane and draw the sketch.
Use Extrude feature and make sketches into a solid body.
Use sheet metal from the solid feature and convert the solid body into sheet metal.
