Sheet Metal Design - Siemens PLM Software - #2

• Built-in intelligence allows the system to automatically rip the material and apply bend reliefs as needed when features are added.

• The solution creates flat solid blanks of components that always reflect the current state of the 3D model.

• A complete set of bending features allows for the creation of flanges, bends and jogs that can all be unbent and rebent, as required.

With a reduced learning curve and intuitive interface, NX Sheet Metal Design enables fast and efficient part design.

Advanced Sheet Metal Design tools are also available, including utilities for general flattening and forming of complex solid models, including sheet metal parts. These flattening/forming utilities include flat pattern, metaform and fabric flattening. Each uses unique algorithms to form a solid part from one state to another, or to generate a flat blank shape that can then be delivered to manufacturing.

NX straight-brake sheet metal design tools are included in all NX Mach Series solutions for design, styling and tooling, as well as in the Mach 3 and 4 NC machining products. The advanced sheet metal tools are available as an add-on package for NX Mach Series solutions.
