Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_7_ Metal bracket-II

DESIGNING METAL BRACKET USING NX CAD SHEET METAL

1. OBJECTIVE

To design metal bracket using NX CAD sheet metal application. And drawing sheet should be created for designed bracket.

2. INTRODUCTION

Generally thickness of sheet metal ranges between 0.4 to 6mm. Metals such as Steel, Aluminum, Copper, Brass, Nickel and Titanium can be made into sheets by rolling process.

Metal bracket is designed using NX CAD sheet metal which has various flanges, holes and cutouts.

3. DESIGN METHODOLOGY

4. DESCRIPTION

a. Fixed parameters through design

• sheet metal - 164*200

b. features used for creating metal bracket

• contour flange
• hole
• advance flange
• normal cutout
• bend
• unbend
• rebend
• break corner
• gusset

c. features used for drafting

• new sheet
• base view

5. standard views of modelling

a. isometric view

b. side view

c. front view

d. top view

6. DRAWING SHEET OF METAL BRACKET

7. CONCLUSION

Thus, the project has been completed by designing and drafting the METAL BRACKET using NX CAD sheet metal and drawing application.
