Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_5_Odd Shaped Enclosure
Title : Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_Odd Shaped Enclosure.
Aim : To design Odd Shaped Encloser by Sheet Metal from Solid Command using - NX Cad.
Introduction :
- Sheet metal is metal formed by an industrial process into thin, flat pieces. It is one of the fundamental forms used in metalworking and it can be cut, bent into a variety of shapes.
- Materials which can be made into sheet metal - Alluminium, copper, brass, steel, nickel, tin and titanium.
- Sheet metal used to design - Machinery
- Automobiles
- Airospace
- wings, Enclosures, brackets, etc.
