Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_5_Odd Shaped Enclosure

Design of Odd shaped encloser by using NX CAD

OBJECTIVE :-

To design odd Shaped enclosure using through NX cad Sheet metal applications and learn how various features of NX applications can be used for Sheet metal design in industries.

ITRODUCTION :-

Sheet metal is one of the most important materials used in manufacturing industries . It made of steel, aluminium, brass.

The metal formed by an industrial process into thin, flat pieces. Sheet metal is one of the fundamental forms used in metal working, and it can be cut and bent into a variety of Shapes.

DESIGN METHODOAGY :-

Create a new sketch

Sketch a profile on XY plane

Create an Extrude of 200 mm

Wrap all the edges of the model using sheet metal from solid command

Create a flange on an edge of one side of the model

Create a jog on the opposite side of the model

Unbend all the edges to create more features

Create two circular beads of length and radius of 3mm

Create six simple holes of diameter 10mm

Rebend all the previously bent edges

Create a flat pattern and using that create a draft of the model

Save the model

DESCRIPTION :-

SKETCH It is a basic of any design.

EXTRUDE :- Create a feature by extruding a section along a vector.

Sheet metal from Solid :- It builds a sheet metal model that takes its shapes from a collection of planar faces.

FLANGE :- Add a flat flange at an angle to a planer face and adds a bend between the two.

JOG :- Modifies the model by lifting material on one side of a sketch line,adding a flange between the two sides.

UNBEND :-Flattnes a bend and the material adjacent to the bend.

REBEND :- Restore an unbend feature to its previous bent state,along with any feature added after the unbend feature.

BEAD:- Lifts material along the contour of a sketch that simulates a stamping tool.

HOLE:- Adds a hole to one or more bodies in a part or assembly with options for countersunk and Threaded.

FLAT PATTERN :- Create a flat patternfeature from the formed sheet metal part.
