Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_6_Bracket
ADVANCED SHEET METAL DESIGN USING NX CAD – BRACKET 1
OBJECTIVE
- To know basics of sheet metal module in NX CAD.
- To know the features like CONTOUR FLANGE, BEAD, BEND, HOLE, UNBEND.
INTRODUCTION
Metal having thickness from 0.1mm to 6mm are termed as sheet metal. Extremely thin are termed as foils or leaf above 6mm are called as plate. Sheet metal are used in various products used in automobile industry, aeronautical industry. There are many other metals that can be made into sheet metals such as aluminium, copper, stainless steel etc.,
DESIGN METHODOLGY / APPROACH
FEATURES USED
- CONTOUR FLANGE
- NORMAL CUT
- BREAK CORNER
- UNBEND
- BEAD
- REBEND
- HOLE
- CONTOUR FLANGE – CONTOUR FLANGE Creates a base feature by extruding a sketch along a vector, or adds material by sweeping a sketch along on edge or chain of edges.
- NORMAL CUTOOUT – NORMAL CUTOUT cuts a material by projecting a sketch onto the model and then cutting perpendicular to the faces intersected by the projection
- BREAK CORNER – Rounds or chamfers a sharp corner of a tab or flange
- UNBEND – UNBEND is used to flatten the sheet metal for further design
- BEAD - BEAD is like a raised rib in the sheet metal
- HOLE – HOLE is used to create holes in the sheet metal part
