Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_6_Bracket

1. Title of the Project:Design of bracket using advance sheet metal operations
2. Objective: To design & understand advance sheet metal operations.
3. Introduction :Sheet metal is metal forming process usually formed form metal sheet of thickness 0.6 mm to 10mm respectively.The sheet metal is generally associated with press machines and press working.Press working is chipless manufacturing process by which various components are produced from sheet metal. Press machine consists of frame that supports a ramp and bed and a mechanism for the operation of the ram. The thickness of the sheet is measured in terms of gauges. Higher the gauge no., the lower the thickness.
4. Design methodology / approach (To be explained with the help of Flowcharts only):

Gather inputs: The design has to start with the problem definition for which the design is to be done and then the design is to be presented to the in-house team as per their specification.

Design Inputs: This is really the first step of the design process, and basically ensures that you make sure you gather all the requirements for your design. The inputs that you have are sufficient enough to satisfy the problem definition or the end user requirements.

Create Outputs: After you have all the data now you can its time to design the basic model based on all the previous that you had gathered.

Verification Review : After the basic model and idea has been made available now it's time for verification of the design. Here a CFT team developed that gives various inputs depending upon the manufacturing end user limits etc

Build validation: A optimized drawing is then created based on the input conditions and the verified with end user requirements.

Validation Review:The design is then validated with inputs from customer/ Problem definition, and finally a clay model is designed for the complete overview of the product.

Documentation: Documention is necessary in every steps as it keeps track of every changes made ,revision details, updation etc.

5.Description (Need to explain tools/ Features used while designing):

Tab: Forms the basic thickness of the Sheet metal part.

Beads: Provides extra Strength to the SM parts

Break Corners: Helps to get rid of sharp edges /corners. Sharp edges becomes the stress concentration areas from where the material fails.

Holes: Attachment feature.

UnBend/Rebend: Unbend helps to derive the flat pattern of the SM component, while rebend allows the SM component to rebend into its original shape.
