Course Duration: 16 Hours
Tuition: $1,200 US
Overview: This is an advanced sheet metal course. Students will be trained to work on items such as small battery contacts, aircraft mounting brackets, electronics enclosures, larger stove/oven components, or auto panels.
Projects: Calculate the developed length of material needed. Pro/Sheetmetal accounts for bends of different radii and material thickness. Convert IGES file with inconsistent wall thickness and punch geometry into a Pro/Sheetmetal part ready for production. Curriculum can be combined with Pro/Surface tools for automobile sheet metal functions or for smaller battery contacts.
Prerequisites: Prior experience with Pro/Sheetmetal and a willingness to learn.
Topics:
- Set up Pro/Sheetmetal for team design efforts
- Bend allowance and developed length
- Punch and die reference parts
- Sheet metal bend tables
- Transition bends
- Xsec-driven bends and unbends
- Deformation areas
Discussion:
- Discuss differences between Notch Forms and Punch Forms
- Transition bends
- Sheet metal design approach
- Discuss 2001 and Wildfire iconography
- Discuss K and Y factors and how to modify them for specific tooling or prototyping
- Discuss stretching due to deformation areas
- Create bend order tables that specify the order, bend radius, and bend angle used for manufacturing
Tutorials:
- Layout and develop oven and stove component
- Create complex beryllium copper battery contact with bend on top of form feature
- Use bend table to control
- Use automatic Ordinate Dimensions on sheet metal component in drawings
- Design sheet metal parts defining the volume and support structures for the components of an assembly
