Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_6_Bracket
Title of the Project: Bracket
Objective:- To create a bracket design with the given sketch and the procedure.
Introduction: Sheet metal is metal formed by an industrial process into thin, flat pieces. Sheet metal is one of the fundamental forms used in
metalworking, and it can be cut and bent into a variety of shapes. Countless everyday objects are fabricated from sheet metal. The sheet metal comes from various materials such as steel, aluminum, brass, titanium, etc. Sheet metals are widely used in Aircraft Bodies, Automobiles, Utensils used for domestic purposes, Beverage cans, etc.
In this project, using the advanced tools of NX sheet metal we have to create the Bracket with the given requirements.
Design methodology:-
Description:
All the tools and features used are as below:
1. CONTOUR FLANGE: Use to create a base feature by extruding a sketch along a vector or adds material by sweeping a sketch along an edge or chain edge.
2. NORMAL CUTOUT: Cuts the model perpendicular to the sketch provided
3. BREAK CORNERS: This commands round a sharp corner to avoid the manufacturing tool stopping a rigid motion.
4. UNBEND: It is used to flatten a bend to its reference surface.
5. BEAD: Lifts a material along a counter of a sketch to make a punch or stamp around it.
6. REBEND: Restores a bend from its flattened section to the original.
7. HOLE: Used to create holes in the given body according to the size of the body and screw fit type.
