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

DESIGNING OF METAL BRACKET

AIM: The aim of this project to design metal bracket in sheet metal using NX CAD software.

DESIGNING FEATURES:

contour flange: The feature that creates a base by extruding a sketch along a direction is called contour flange.

normal cutout:It helps in cutting out the material by drawing a sketch onto the model.

unbend:It is used to flatten the material part and its adjacent surface.

rebend: This feature helps to undo the operationn performed by unbend.

hole: It is used to add a hole in the solid body of the part.

break corner: This feature is used to smoothen the corner with some radius.

advanced flange: It adds flange along the edge curve with bend angle or reference face .

gusset: This feature is used to stiffen the curve similar to bead

DESIGNING STEPS:
