Designing of Metal Brackrt-II using NX Cad
Title:- Designing of Metal Brackrt-II 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:-
Here, for designing Metal bracket-II we have various NX Cad tools. Tools which are used for modelling are Contour flange, Normal cutout, break corner, unbend, Rebend, Advance flange, Hole, Gusset.
Design methodology:-
- Use Contour Flange to create a base profile for the metal bracket-II
- Use Normal Cutout to get the desired profile for the metal bracket-II
- Use Break Corner to blend the sharpe corners of the profile.
- Use Unbend.
- Use Normal Cutout
- Use Rebend
- Use Advance Flange to get the profile for the bracket.
- Use Unbend
- Use Hole to punch holes in the profile.
- Use Normal cutout to shape the profile.
- Use Advance Flange
- Use rebend
- Use Gusset
Description:-
Contour Flange:-
It is created by extending the sketch on its representive 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 convert the sharp edges to the smooth edges of the corner.
Unbend:-
It is used for Unbending corners of the body.
Rebend:-
It is used for bending corners of the unbend body.
Advance Flange:-
In this type of feature we can add an extending part on the edge of the model. this can be changed in degree, length also.
Hole:-
A Hole feature is used to create holes on the model.
Gusset:-
It is a feature added to give stiffness to the bent sheet metal part hence increasing the strength of the part.

Conclusion:-
Thus we have successfully designed Metal Bracket-II using NX Cad.
