Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_7_ Metal bracket-II
Title: Metak Bracket
Objective: Design the sheet metal Bracket using Siemens NX CAD.
Introduction: Design the Bracket as per the industry's standards of sheet metal using Siemens NX CAD. Basic Principles Sheet Metal Fabrication is the process of forming parts from a metal sheet by punching, cutting, stamping, and bending. 3D CAD files are converted into machine code, which controls a machine to precisely cut and form the sheets into the final part. In this project, we design the sheet metal casing design using NX CAD software with given parameters values.
Design Methodology:
Description Of Tools and Features used while Designing:
Create the sketch on the ZX planes for the bracket.
Create the sketch on XY plane for creating Flange.
Use Contour Flange Feature and create a sheet metal Flange of 158mm width.
Use the Normal Cutout feature and remove the unnecessary material.
Use the Break Corner feature and make the corners round.
Unbend the bracket design by selecting one face.
Create a circle of 12.5mm diameter on the surface of the bracket and remove the material according to the circle using the Normal Cutout feature.
Rebend the Bracket design.
Create a flange using the Advanced flange feature.
Again unbend the bracket design.
Create the points and add holes of 6mm diameter through the body.
Create a sketch and remove the material using the Normal Cutout feature.
Add the Advanced Flange at the cutout place.
Again rebend the design.
Add gussets to the bending region.
