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

Design of Metal Bracket-2 by using NX CAD

OBJECTIVE :- To design sheet metal bracket by using given dimension in NX cad software.

INTRODUCTION :-

Sheet metal is a metal forming process into thin pieces through various industrial processes like bending , punching, rolling, cutting, etc…

Here, I have converted to 3D metal Bracket from given 2D data.

DESIGN METHODOLAGY :-

Select a new file in NX Cad

Select a sheet metal platform and saved with suitable name

Selected front plane to draw the sketch

Extruded the sketch by using contour flange command

One more sketch is created on front of the flange

As per previous sketch removed unwanted material by using normal cutout command

Additional to previous sketch added some holes

Normal cut out operation was done for the previous sketch

Corner treatment was done where ever required

Advanced flanges is created for top section of an object

Now unbend of an object was done to get a flat view

Oblong was created on the job at particular point, and cut out operation was done

Again advanced flange option was used for the previous sketch

Re bend operation was done from flat view

Now gusset was created at bend corners where ever required

As per the dimensions model is created and shown

Final touch up was given and finished the model

DESCRIPTION :-

Normal cut out :-It is a command to cut material by projecting a sketch onto the model and then cutting perpendicular to the surfaces.

Break corner :-It is a command to round or chamfer sharp corners of a tab or flange.

Unbend :-It is a command used to flatten the sheet metal with respect to one flat sheet.

Rebend :-It is a command used to restore the unbend.

Hole :- It is a command is used to create a hole on the surface.

Gusset :-is a command which add a rib like structure between two sheet metal. It is also used for stiffening sheet metal.

Advanced flange :-It is a type of flange command which can create flange over curved edges also.

Contour flange :-It is a base feature by extruding a sketch along the vector or adds material by sweeping a sketch on edge.

CONCLUSION :- The project help me in understanding the design methodology used to design such sheet metal part.

Knowledge of various tools of NX sheet metal work bench I got doing this work bench.
