Chapter 10 sheet metal design 1 chapter 10 sheet metal design 2 chapter 10 objectives.

Design of sheet metal parts ppt.

Create sheet metal parts. Ppt on sheet metal process 1. 2007 john wiley sons inc. Avoid large sheet metal parts with small bent flanges.

Modify sheet metal parts to match design requirements. It has a significantly lower cost than machining cavities into metal blocks. Products leveraging the possibilities of sheet metal. Modify settings for sheet metal design.

A 1 degree tolerance on all bend angles. Sheet metal fabrication in china sheet metal is a kind of integrated metal cold working technology for metal sheet usually in under 6mm usually the parts plastically deformed by handwork or stamping die to form your desired shape and size and it also can be further formed more complex parts by welding or other metal cold working technology including laser cutting punching bending. It appears in commodity products and in highly specialized one of a kind applications. Sheet metal is one of the most versatile and widely used manufacturing methods.

If you design your sheet metal part as a solid object it s important that you send us a cad file that appears folded but shows where bends should go. Following all sheet metal design guidelines is very difficult in the complex part. Sheet metal fabrication in china sheet metal is a kind of integrated metal cold working technology for metal sheet usually in under 6mm usually the parts plastically deformed by handwork or stamping die to form your desired shape and size and it also can be further formed more complex parts by welding or other metal cold working technology including laser cutting punching bending. Bends specified as angles may be tolerance at plus or minus one half degree at a location adjacent to the bends.

In this article we will discuss sheet metal design guidelines for manufacturing parts using sheet metal press bending. When designing parts for laser cutting one should not make holes smaller than the thickness of the material. Therefore exceptions can be there for complex features design. Dies and presses for sheet metal processes 6.

Sheet metal operations not performed on presses 7. After completing this chapter you will be able to perform the following. Other sheet metal forming operations 5. Sheet metal is one of the most versatile materials and processes in the world today.

Bends in sheet metal are manufactured using sheet metal brakes. Related to this because the raw materials are single sheets of metal the entire part must have the same material thickness throughout. Design considerations for sheet metal parts. Sheet metal parts with a minimum of 0 9mm to 20mm in thickness can be manufactured.

Designers and engineers develop components as small as washers and as large as entire roofs. M p groover fundamentals of modern manufacturing 3 e sheet metalworking 1. But testing these exceptions before design release is a good practice.
