Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_7_ Metal bracket-II
Title of the project:
Bracket-II
Objective
Siemens NX formerly known as Unigraphics was used to design the casing.
Introduction
Sheet metal forming is the process in which a flat sheet is converted to desired shape by (bending, cutout, embossing, etc.) without causing any rupture to the sheet metal.
Sheet metal thickness varies from 0.4mm to 6mm, thin sheet metal is called leaf or foil and thicker ones are called as plate.
few examples of the industries which are reliant on sheet metal are aerospace, automobile, oil and gas, electronics, food service etc.
Design methodology
Description
Contur Flange-we can construct the feature with multiple bends using this command
Normal cutout- to create a cut in desired position
Unbend/ Re bend- done to ease the next operation
Break corners- done to remove the sharp edges
Advanced flange- can be used on the curve edges
Gusset-Adds stiffness
Drafting- it is last step done to communicate the details of the model.
