+Pro/SHEETMETAL Level 2 Training (Wildfire 3.0
& Wildfire 4.0 available)
Course Duration:
16 Hours
Tuition: $1200 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 to name a few.
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
Exercise:
- 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.
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.
- Calculate the developed length of material needed. Pro/SHEETMETAL
accounts for bends of different radii and material thickness.
Project:
Calculate the developed length of material needed. Pro/SHEETMETAL accounts
for bends of different radii and material thickness.
Several Brackets, Deep drawn form and combination.
Curriculum can be combined with Pro/SURFACE tools for automobile sheet
metal functions or for smaller battery contacts.
Convert IGES file with inconsistent wall thickness and punch geometry
into a Pro/SHEETMETAL part ready for production.
