Sheet Metal Design Rules For Mechanical Designers

Learn all the design considerations to be kept in mind while designing a manufacturable sheet metal part.

What you'll learn

Sheet Metal Design Considerations; a designer must keep in his mind while design a sheet metal part

Requirements

Although there are no prerequistes for this course but you shoould be aware of any CAD software so that you can practice on rules after watching the class.

Description

If you are planning to become a sheet metal designer or product design, then this is the right course for you. In this course, you will learn about design considerations; a designer needs to keep in mind while designing a product.I have not discussed any sheet metal operation here. I am discussing the consideration which a designer should use so that sheet metal parts do not get deform while manufacturing. Overall, 20 considerations have been discussed in the course. Students can make a list of all the points and use the values when they are designing parts in sheet metal. You will also get a detailed lecture on flat length so that your basics are clear before proceeding with the other design features.Pre-requisites -   There are no pre-requisites for this course; you should know about only CAD software as without any CAD knowledge you will not be able to practice.Course Outcomes-  After completing this course, you would have detailed knowledge of 1.
