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

Title of the Project:

Bracket- II

OBJECTIVE:

To design a Bracket using sheet metal.

INTRODUCTION:

In this project we design the Bracket using sheet metal by using the tools such as contour flange, normal cut-out, Break corner, unbend, bead, holes and Rebend.

DESIGN METHEDOLOGY:

STEP1: Create Sketch XY plane
STEP 2: Create Sketch XY plane
STEP 3: Create contour flange
Step 3: use normal cut out
Step 4: break all the corners
Step 5: unbend Sheetmetal
Step 6: use advance flange
Step 7: unbend the Sheetmetal
Step 8: create normal cut out
Step 9: use advance flange
Step 10: re bend
Step 11: add gusset

DESCRIPTION:

The features used to create dimple are

1.sketch: It is used to create the 2D sketches.

2.Contour Flange: It is used to make base with the sketch without tab.

3.Normal cut-out: this tool is used to cut the sheet metal with the directions.

5.Unbend: It is used to unbend the component.
6. Rebend: It is used to Rebend the component

7.Bead: It is used to make beads on surfaces.

8.Hole: It is used to make holes for the sheet metal.

9.Gusset: It is used to give more strength to the sheet metal.
