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

:METAL BRACKET DESIGN:

Objective: The objective of this project is to design a Metal Bracket using Siemens NX Sheet Metal Application.

Introduction:

Siemens NX is one of the popular CAD Software used for 2D drafting and 3D modeling. It has complete set of tools for creating sheet metal parts. Here by we have used varies tools of Siemens NX 10 Sheet Metal Application in this project for creating Metal Bracket Design by using different features.

Design Methodology:

Description:

• The Bracket Design is Created using following feature.

SKETCH TOOLS: Sketch tools are used for creating 2D sketches in Siemens NX. The sketch tools used are straight line, Rectangle, Arc and circle.

• Sketch used in designing of Metal Flange created using this feature.

CONTOUR FLANGE: This feature Creates a base feature by extruding a sketch along a vector, or adds material by sweeping a sketch along an edge or chain of edges.

• Initial sketch of Metal Bracket is converted into 3D part using this feature.

NORMAL CUTOUT: This feature is used Cut material by projecting a sketch onto the model and then cutting perpendicular to the faces intersected by the projection.

• Unwanted Sheetmetal part is Removed using this feature.

BREAK CORNER: This feature is used to blunt sharp corner by providing radius to corners.

• Sharp corners are blunted by using this feature

UNBEND: It is used to flatten the material by removing the bends.

REBEND: It is used to Rebend the flatten Design.

HOLE: This feature is used to create different types of holes in the part.

• Holes are created at required places using hole feature.

ADVANCE FLANGE: This feature is used to Add a flange along an edge using a bend angle or a reference face. The edge and reference face can be curved.

• Advance Flange feature is used in upper part and at elliptical cut part face to add flange in curved edge

GUSSET: This Feature Creates a stiffening gusset on the part.

• Four Gussets are provided at bends of bracket to strengthen the bend.
