Features of Bracket Sheet Metal Fabrication
Bracket sheet metal fabrication has widely used in electronic appliances, communication, automobile industry, medical equipment and other fields. The characteristics of sheet metal bracket are light weight, high strength, electrical conductivity ow cost, good mass production performance and so on.
Description
SKETCH : It is used to draw a 2D sketch.
UNBEND: Flattens a bend and material adjacent to the bend.
HOLE : Adds a hole to one or more solid bodies in a part or assembly with opctions for counterbored,countersunk and threaded.
REBEND: Resotres an unbend feature to its previous bent stste, along with any features added after the unbend feature.
NORMAL CUTOUT: Cuts material by projecting a sketch onto the model and then cutting perpendicular to the faces intersected by the projection.
FLAT PATTERN : Creates a flat pattern feature from the formed sheet metal part.
BREAK CORNER: Rounds or chamfers a sharp corner of a tab or flange.
Advanced flange: Adds a flange along an edge using a bend angle or a reference face. The edge and reference face can be curved.
Gusset: Creates a stiffening gusset on the part.
