Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_5_Odd Shaped Enclosure
Title of the project: To Design Odd Shaped Enclosure using NX cad
OBJECTIVE
To observe the model and design the sheet metal by using given dimensions and instructions.
INTRODUCTION
NX is a widely used Computer Aided Designing software for multi-purposes like designing, engineering, and manufacturing. It used in various fields for different works. Using different features and methods we have designed here.
DESCRIPTION
- SKETCHING - Making a 2d drawing such as curves, arcs, circles, points, rectangles and many options to create a drawing or to create features for upcoming designing.
- EXTRUDE - It is to make the 2d sketch in a 3D dimensional body or object by defining its thickness.
- SHEET METAL FROM SOLID - It converts the solid shaped part to shaped sheet metal, and is available in only sheet metal application.
- FLANGE - It adds an angular or flat surface on the edge of the surface to create an extended surface with the required directions.
- JOG - It modifies the sketch by living on the one side and adds flange of required length between the two end sides.
- UNBEND - It is to flatten the bend sheet metal to form a flat sheet. It helps in making an extra feature like bead, normal cutout on the sheet metal after bending.
- BEAD - This is to create a contour shaped accordingly to their sketch in the required direction with required punch/die radius.
- HOLE - It is to create a hole on the sketch, or to create a counterbored, countersink and several hole options to do.
- BEAD - It is to create a contour or projection on the sheet, as respected with the create sketch.
- FLAT PATTERN - It creates the flat pattern of the sheet metal in a separate sheet for its dimensions and details of the model.
