Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_6_Bracket

TITLE: BRACKET DESIGN

OBJECTIVE:

With the help of NX CAD tool, to design a sheet metal component that is Bracket and write the explanation about the sheet metal modelling features applied through the designing of component.

INTRODUCTION:

Sheet metal is a metal formed by an industrial process into thin, flat pieces. It is one of the significant and basic form used in metalworking and it can be cut as well as bent into the variety of shapes.

Different metals such as brass, copper, aluminium, tin, steel, etc can be made into sheet metal. Sheetmetal is generally used in automobiles, wings as well as in other utensils. To manufacture all these in different designs and drafting in the specific way by a manual drawing can't be possible. So, the design tools are better options and object modeling can be done very easily.

DESIGN METHODOLOGY:

DESCRIPTION:

Here, the various features used in the designing of bracket are discussed thorougly.

• Design Reading: Here, top view, side view and front view are analyzed critically so that sketching could be performed.
• Sketch: This is used to create the basic sketch of the specific design on any desired plane.
• Contour Flange: Here in, after sketching this feature is applied to get a flange as per the design requirements and also we can adjust its depth value.
• Normal Cutout: It is used to cut the sheet metal part portions as per the sketch requirement.
• Break corners: This feature is used to control the edges in various manners like making edges round for easy handling.
• Unbend: This feature help us to analyze sheet metal part fully. It will the make the whole design into simple sheet metal plate where we can add any shape or adjustments if required which ensures smooth function of operations.
• Beads: Generally used for strengthening the sheet metal part.
• Rebend: The feature is used when our sheet metal design part is ready for the production process after all confirmations and eradicating all errors.
• Hole: On the sketch requirements, this feature is used to make whole in the sheet metal part and also comes along with different types of specification of screws.

CONCLUSION:

Here in this challenge, first drawing is read and then sketching is done and after that the sheet metal component is modeled which help us to learn the industry level working and knowledge with the advance features.
