Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge _Bracket

INTRODUCTION :

In this report we are going to design a bracket in sheet metal by using the NX CAD.

OBJECTIVE :

We are going to design the bracket and also going to learn the features used in the making of the project by using NX CAD.

DESIGN METHODOLOGY :

FLOWCHART

DESCRIPTION :

We are going to sketch the model and then we add the contour flange feature to it.

Contour flange makes the tab with bend along with it.

After that we will cut out the part that we don’t want it in the model so we will use the normal cutout feature for that.

Then unbend the model to add some sketches for the bead feature.

The bead feature lift ups the material of the sheet and it stimulates stamping effect also it stiffens the sheet metal that we have created.

After giving the bead feature we will rebend the model then we will add the holes to the specified location as per the guidelines then we use break corners features to make round shape at the corner and sharper edges.

And then we flat pattern it and make the drafting sheet for the model.

FEATURES/TOOLS USED:

• Sketch
• Contour flange
• Normal cutout
• Break corner
• Unbend
• Bead
• Rebend
• Hole
• Flat pattern
• Drafting

The features which are used have been explained above in the description.

And did the flat pattern and drafting for the model.
