Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_7_ Metal bracket-II
Title: Metal bracket
Objective: To design a metal bracket in NX sheet metal work bench.
Itroduction: sheet metal is a metal forming process into thin pices through various industrial processes like bending, punching, rolling, cutting, etc. here i have designed a sheet metal model using 2D sketch.
Design methodology:
To create a sheet metal bracket i have followed below described design methodology
Description:
Sketch: this command is used to create 2D sketch
Conture flange: this command is used to extrude sketch perpendicularly with define thickness and length
Normal cutout: this command is used to remove material of sheet metal part
Corner brake: this command is used to blends and remove sharp edges
Undend: this command is used to flatten the sheet metal part to do some complex operations whish is not posible in its original position
Rebend: this command is used to give original position of the part which is flattend using unbend command
Advance flange: this command is used to create a flange across a non linear curves
Hole: this command is used to create holes for the bracket for mounting purpose
Gusset: this command is used to give support to the bends of the sheet metal part
Flat pattern: this command is used to create 2D data of sheet metal part for the manufacturing purpose
