Advanced sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad challenge 5 odd Shaped Enclosure
Title of the Project: Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge 5 Odd Shaped Enclosure
objective:
To designa Odd shaped Enclosure with the help of NX advance sheet metal.
introduction:
Sheet metal is metal formed by an industrial process into thin, flat pieces. Countless everyday objects are fabricated from sheet metal. Thicknesses can vary significantly; extremely thin sheets are considered foil or lea, and pieces thicker than 6 mm (0.25 in) are considered plate steel or "structural steel. We can also quickly convert solid models to sheet metal components, and create sheet metal parts that enclose other components. NX Sheet Metal provides a set of tools within the NX design environment that allows for simple and fast design of sheet metal parts, dependent on their material and manufacturing process, the most common of which is straight brake sheet metal forming. So, in this projectI am going to design a Box Assembly by using sheet metal tools and commands
Design methodology/ approach:
Description:
The important tools which used during designing of Box Assembly are as follow:
- Sketching & Extrude: In this step we will create a base sketch and we will do extrude of it upto 200 mm.
- sheet metal from solid :iin this procedure we will wrop the solid body with the sheet metal that mean we will convert extrude body into 3mm sheet matal body
- flanges:now we will add 20mm and 90deg flange on the body
- jog:after that we have to create a jog line for adding jog feature
- unbend:now this step we will unbennd the sheet metal part .
- bead:at base of model,we will create a bead of 3mm depth.
- hole:now we have to create a hole of 10mm through body
- rebend :next step is rebend the part.

conclusion:
while designing a box assebly i have understand and learnt different tools such as extrude to sheetmetal ,flange ,bending,jog,creating hole
