Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_6_Bracket
TITLE: Bracket design
OBjective: To design Bracket in sheet metal work bench
Introduction: sheet metal is a metal formed in industerial process. every day life sheet metals are used in various applications, sheet metals can be manufactured in various thicknes this can be done using thin and flat pieces of sheet material. In Sheet metals various operations are performed easly like bending, cuting, punching, holes etc,
Design methodology:
Description:
In order to design a bracket tools and commands are required in nx sheet metal workbench are described here,
- sketch: sketch is basic tool for a design, create 2d sketch of bracket
- Conture flange: using this tool create a contoure flange by selecting the sketch
- Normal cutout: using this tool create a profile on flange and cut the portion to remove material
- Break corners: using this tool remove sharp and clean edges
- unbend,Beads and rebend: using this tools unbend the bracket to create beads to give additional strength to the sheet metal and rebend it to original shape.
- Holes: using this tool create holes of required dimensions
- Flatt partten: this tool is used to flatten the sheet metals
- Drawing sheet: after flat partten create drawing sheet which helps in manufacturing process.
