Casing designing using NX cad

Tittle:- Casing designing using NX cad

Objective:-

Write a detailed report on Sheet Metal Component with good explanation on Sheet Metal modelling tools applied throughout the modelling.

Introduction:-

For creating sheet metal casing using NX Cad i have various tools. Tools used to create casing were Sketch, Tab, Normal cutout, Bend, Flanges, Holes, Break corner, Unbending, Studio spline, Move curve, Dimple, Bead, Mirror feature, Rebending, Flat pattern, Drafting

Design methodology:-

• Use Tab to create base for the casing.
• Use normal cutout to get desired solid.
• Use Bend to bend the solid body into desired form.
• Use flange
• Use Break corners for blending the edges.
• Use unbend to get flat body.
• Use Hole to add holes in the Body.
• Use Dimple to create a dimple in the base of the solid.
• Add Bead to the solid
• Use mirror feature to mirror bead.
• Use rebend to form a desired solid body.
• Use flat pattern to create a flat pattern view.
• Use drafting tool to draft casing on A4 sheet.

Description:-

Tab:-

It is the base for extruding a sketch to make a sheet metal in a planar face by changing its thickness.

Normal Cutout:-

It is used to cut or create a gap in the sketch.

Bend:-

Bend is used to create a bend in the flat body.

Flange:-

It add flat surface or an angular surface on the edge of the surface to create an extended surface.

Break Corner:-

It is used to convert the sharp edges to the smooth edges of the corner.

Unbend:-

It is used for Unbending corners of the body.

Hole:-

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

Dimple:-

It is used to lift an area shown in the sketch to make an impression on the sheet metal.

Bead:-

It is used to create a conture shape according to the sketch in the required direction with required punch/die radius.

Mirror Feature:-

This is used to mirror a feature along a specific direction.

Rebend:-

It is used for bending corners of the unbend body.

Flat Pattern:-

Flat pattern is used to create flat pattern view which is used for drafting purposes.

Drafting:-

It helps to create 2D drawing from a 3D model.

Conclusion:-

Thus, we have successfully designed sheet metal casing using NX Cad.
