Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge 7 Bracket

• OBJECTIVE - Explanation of the sheet metal bracket and tools used to design it in NX 12.

• INTRODUCTION - Sheet metal are thin and flat pieces formed by industrial processes. It can be cut and bent into variety of shapes.

Brackets found their application for mounting of any products starting from antennas to TV, projectors or street lights and many more.

• DESIGN METHODOLOGY - For designing a sheet metal component we need to enter into sheet metal mode through application in tool bar.

LET'S START

1. Start with sketch in YZ plane.
2. Make shown sketch in XZ plane.
3. Use contour flange.
4. Use sketch one to make the required shape by using normal cut out.
5.Use break corner at shown edge.
6. Use break corner at shown edges.
7. Unbend the sheet metal part.
8. Make shown normal cout out.
9. Rebend sheet metal.
10. Use break corner.
11. Use break corner at marked point.
12. Use break corner at visible corners.
13.Use advanced flange at the shown edge.
14. Unbend the part.
15. Use normal cut out for shown profiles.
16. Use normal cut out.
17. Use advanced flange at shown profile.
18. Rebend the part.
19. Make gusset at 15 mm distance from shown face.
20. Pattern the above gusset to 30 mm linear.
21. Make gusset at shown bend with given distance.
22. Pattern the above feature with 30 mm in linear.
23. 2d views.
24. Flat pattern view.
25. Images of model as per views.
26. Final Model.
27. Thanks.
