Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_6_Bracket
TITLE:- DESIGN OF A SHEET-METAL BRACKET
OBJECTIVE:- Objective of this project is to study and working on different features of NX CAD for making of a SHEET-METAL BRACKET.
INTRODUCTION:- Sheet Metal is a comprehensive cold working process for metal sheets (usually below 6mm), including shearing, punching, cutting, folding, riveting, splicing, forming (such as car body) etc.
DESIGN METHODOLOGY:-
DESCRIPTION:- Features Used
1. Sketch:- It is a 2D profile that can be extruded, revolved swepted, etc. to create a 3D product.
2. Contour Flange:- Contour Flange command to create a flange by extruding a sketch along a vector, or by sweeping a sketch along an edge or chain of edges. NX adds bends automatically using the default bend radius value. To use a different bend radius value, draw arcs in the section, or change the default bend radius value.
3. Normal Cutout:- Normal Cutout is used to command to cut material by projecting a sketch onto the model and then cutting perpendicular to the faces intersected by the projection.
4. Break Corner:- Break Corner command used to round or chamfer sharp corners of a tab or flange.
5. Unbend:- Unbend command used to unbend a portion of the part to construct cutout features, hole features, or deform features across a bend. You can later reform the bend to represent the true formed state of the model.
6. Hole:- Hole command used to add different types of hole features in a part or assembly.
7. Bead:- Bead command used to create a solid body using a path and a cross-section. The cross-sectional shape you define can be swept along a path over any number of objects to create the Bead feature.
8. Rebend:- Rebend command used to reverse an unbend operation so that the feature that was unbent returns to its previous bent state. Any features added after the unbend operation are properly repositioned during the rebend operation.
9. Flat Pattern:- Flat Pattern command used to create a solid or wireframe flat representation of a flattened 3D FPCD part.
CONCLUSION:- Using above mentioned features I have created this SHEET-METAL Bracket.
