Forming Basics. Press brake forming-The fundamental advantage of a press brake as a forming tool is its flexibility. By using standard vee-dies, cost savings can be realized through economical set-ups and run times on small lots and prototypes.
In this Instructable I'm going to walk you through how to make one of these simple sheet metal boxes! If you are just beginning to work with sheet metal I recommend also checking out my two previous sheet metal Instructables.
Sheet metal fabrication is the process of forming parts from a metal sheet by punching, cutting, stamping, and bending. 3D CAD files are converted into machine code, which controls a machine to precisely cut a flat pattern, which can be formed into the final part using press brakes and die tools.
For parts with small radius forms, high carbon spring steel or another heat treatable metal with good ductility may need to be used. The part may require heat-treating after forming to achieve necessary stiffness or spring performance characteristics, which adds to manufacturing cost. Note that broad flat sections in high carbon spring steel parts
Objectives. By the end of today you should be able to... ...describe different forming processes, when they might be used, and compare their production rates, costs and environmental impacts. ...calculate forming forces, predict part defects (tearing, wrinkling, dimensional inaccuracy), and propose. solutions.
Using Siemens NX 11 Software. Sheet Metal Design - Casing. Based on a YouTube NX tutorial1. 1https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SIYi1Vz87k. 1 – Introduction. Start NX 11 and create a new Sheet Metal model called casing.prt. Create a sketch in the XY plane and draw a rectangle centred at the origin with an x-length of 60 mm and a y-width of. 50 mm.
