Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_6_Bracket

The Objective of this project which make a sheet metal bracket which including bending and stiffening process by using Bead to provide a extra stiffening for the metal bracket increase durability of the bracket

INTRODUCTION

Sheet metal is defined us the thin sheet which made by alloys according to needed parameters .Those sheets are undergoes bending, forming, cutting, enclosing etc. Sheet metal usage is increasing every day to life including kitchen appliances to rocket spacing every its used to fabrication of surfaces in every industries. Thin sheet metals are also known as coils and foils. Sheet metals play a major role in automotive industries for making a surfaces of Every automobiles Siemens Nx formerly Unigraphics is a power full CAE/CAM/CAD Tool used for every phases of engineering including Design , Analysis, Manufacturing, A class surface design .

STEP WISE PROCEDURE TO DESIGN THE BRACKET

• Create a sketch in ZX coordinate system after that make a Contour flange

• In before all to create preference about making a sheet thickness and bend radius according to the purpose

• Followed with contour flange in reference as top plane create a drafting for normal cut for make bracket

• Using normal cutout command make cutout according to requirement

• Make a sketch for bead with out unbend the sheet bead used for stiffening purpose

• Followed with drafting unbend the sheet Create a bead and make it un bend

• Create a hole for fasteners mount

FINAL DESIGN AS PER ATTACHED PPT.
