Advance Sheet metal Using NX CAD Bracket Design

Title of the project:- Bracket designing using NX Cad

Objective:-To create metal bracket from given 2D drawing


Introduction:-

For creating metal bracket from 2D drawing i have used various tools in NX Cad.
I have used tools such as contour flange, normal cutout, break corner, unbend, rebend, bead

DESIGN METHODOLOGY:

Draw a sketch on XZ datum plane.
Use contour flange to create a solid body.
Use normal cutout to get the desired solid body.
Use break corner to Blend the sharp edges.
use unbend
form a bead on the solid body.
Use rebend to bring solid body back to desired shape.
Use Hole to punch a general hole through the solid body.

Description:-

Contour Flange:-
It is created by extending the sketch on its representative axis with the thickness as required from the base.

Normal Cutout:-
It is used to cut or create a gap in the sketch.

Break Corner:-
It is used to make the comers blend with some self dimensioned radius in order to make corners smooth.

Unbend:-
It is used for Unbending corners of the body.

Bead:-
It is used to create a contour shape according to the sketch in the required direction with required punch/die radius.

Rebend:-
It is used for bending corners of the unbend body.

Hole:-
A Hole feature is used to create holes on the model.

Conclusion:-
Thus we have successfully designed metal bracket using 2D drawing Using NX Cad.
