Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_6_Bracket
TITILE: odd shaped Sheetmetal part
Objective:
The objective of this project is Converting Solid body into Sheet metal part.
INTRODUCTION
Sheet metal is a metal formed by an industrial process into thin, flat pieces. Sheet metal is one of the fundamental forms used in metalworking, and it can be cut and bent into a variety of shapes. Countless everyday objects are fabricated from sheet metal.
A sheet metal odd shaped part is selected for this project to understand the basics of Sheet metal application in Siemens NX. The odd shaped part has some important features like flange, beads, jogs etc. The odd shaped part is a basic component which can be used as a cover and other electronic components etc.

Description:
Creating the sketch with over all look of desired shape and the sketch as follows:
After creation of above sketch using contour flange commond sheetmetal as follows:
After creation of Sheetmetal, to create the normal cutout sketch is created as follows:
After creation of above sketch the normal cutout is created and final part as follows:
After above operation completion break corner is created as follows:
After completion of above operation unbend command is used for further operations and as follows:
After above operation unbend command used to make beads and holes. Bead is created as follows:
After rebend is created the part as follows:
After completion of above operations simple holes are created as follows:
After completion of all operations flat pattern is used to create drafting and manufacturing drawings and the flat pattern as follows:
Using Drawing file drafting of flat pattern is created and the view as follows:
Conclusion:
Finally, the odd shaped enclosure is created and drafted. The 4 views of final product as follows:
