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

Metal Bracket 2

Objective:

To design the bracket using various Sheet metal tools in NX Cad.

Introduction:

Sheet metal refers to any metal that can be formed into flat pieces of varying thicknesses. Thick metals are called plate. Metals used in the sheet metal industry include cold rolled steel, mild steel, stainless steel, tin, nickel, titanium, aluminum, brass, and copper. There are many different metals that can be made into sheet metal, such as aluminium, brass, copper, steel, tin, nickel and titanium. For decorative uses, some important sheet metals include silver, gold, and platinum (platinum sheet metal is also utilized as a catalyst). Bracket, in architecture, device of wood, stone, or metal that projects from or overhangs a wall to carry a weight. It may also serve as a ledge to support a statue, the spring of an arch, a beam, or a shelf. Brackets are often in the form of volutes, or scrolls, and can be carved, cast, or molded.

Design methodology:

Sketch:

Sketching is a basic 2D drawing tool which is used to make the primary face of the model from which the various 3 D commands are been done.

Countour Flange:

Creates the Flange wrt Sketch Along with the vector Sweep along the sketch

Normal Cutout:

Cuts the material by projecting the sketch onto the model and Cuts the material faces intersecting perpendicular to

Unbend:

Unbend the sheetmetal shearing using the unbend.

Rebend:

Rebend is the process bending the sheetmetal.

Break Corners:

Blends the sharp corners to the radii as round.

Advanced Flange :

Advanced flange used to add the along the edge using the bend angle or a reference face. the edge or the reference face can be a bend also.

Holes:

Holes are creating using this command at the particular point.

Gusset:

Gusset are the stiffening elements to make the object more stiff.
