Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_6_Bracket
TITLE OF THE PROJECT: Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX CAD Challenge 6- Bracket Design.
OBJECTIVE: To design a Bracket by using Siemens NX sheetmetal application.
INTRODUCTION:
Sheet Metal is basically a sheet made out of metal like steel through a forming process called rolling and the thickness of sheetmetal starts from 0.5mm and goes upto 6mm. Sheet metal is one of major input material used in automotive manufacturing industries and several other industries. These sheets are transformed into useful products like BiW frames in automotive industry with the help of various sheet metal operations like bending, punching, blanking, piercing, lancing etc.
Applications: Aircraft bodies, Automobiles bodies, Utensiles used for domestic purpose, Bevarage Cans.
The NX Sheet Metal application provides an environment for the design of sheet metal parts used in Machinery, Automotive, Aerospace etc. Enclosures, brackets and other parts normally manufactured with a brake press.
NX sheet metal application provides a set of tools that allows for easy and fast design of sheet metal parts such as BiW components. NX sheet metal design application incorporates features or commands which are very handy for depicting or representing majority of the mechanical operations involved in sheet metal part formation.
some of the examples of such features are: bends, flanges, tabs, cutouts, beads, dimples, louvers, corner and edge treatments, patterns and other features related to forming process.
Using the NX CAD sheet metal application we can easily convert solid models to sheet metal replica by the technique of wrapping around the sheet of required thickness around the solid model.
