Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_5_Odd Shaped Enclosure

PROJECT TITLE:

DESIGN OF SHEET MMETAL ENCLOSER

OBJECTIVE:

To design an odd shaped encloser in sheet metal by using nx cad siemens.

INTRODUCTION:

1. Here we are going to create an odd shaped encloser in sheet metal. these kind of encloser are very useful for machine protection. it protect machine like motor and so on from water, unfortunate impacts and most importantly it is used for safety purposes. safety purposes like heat, exploading and so on.

2. While creating an encloser we have to be aware of choosing a material. thera are some factor that we should considered before we select those are applications,corrosion resistance, strength weight, cost, and etc.

DESIGN METHODOLOGY

1. While design of an encloser we have to assume some parameters so our product will perform well in manufacturing place

which are given below

1.Uniform thickness

2.Keep holes diameters atleast bigger then sheet metal thickness

3.Spacing between holes atleast 2 times the sheet metal thickness.

4. Use beads to strengthen our product.

PROCESS FLOW CHART

PART DESCRIPTION:

EXTRUDE:

1. Create an extrude for creating a solid body. This solid body can be created by sketching on the plane.

SHEET METAL FROM SOLID BODY:

1. By using SM from SB what it will do it is converting a sheet metal from solid body for that we have to select the intended faces,edges and give a thickness values. then press apply to convert.

FLANGE:

1. Add a flange on the appropriate edge as shown in fig.

JOG:

1. On the other side apply a jog. What a jog do it is lifting a material as shown in fig. The profilr was created by the sketch on the lifting faces.

UNBEND:

1. Do a unbend it will unbend our sheet metal as shown in figure. Unbend command used to add some extra features on the sheet metal and also t is ensuring that we are working on the sheet metal design.

ADD EXTRA FEATURES:

BEAD:

1. bead is added on the sheet metal part to increase a stifness of the sheet metal. bead can be created by aketching a line.

HOLES:

1. Holes has been created with uniform diameter of cut profile.

REBEND:

1. Then do a rebend to back to its formed shape and the final encloser would result like this.

FLAT PATTERN:

1. Create a flat pattern for drafting purposes ensure that you have enble all the important details so those are reflecton your drafting.

CONCLUSION:

Finally i have successfully designed odd shaped sncloser by appling standard that revelent to manufacturing process and i have learnes how to convert solid to sheet metal.
