Features: This book is suitable for users with basic Pro/ENGINEER part design skills. It primarily introduces how to use Pro/E Wildfire 2.0 for 3D sheet metal design, covering a wide range of topics, including:
- Designing various types of sheet metal thin walls
- Designing punches and grooves on sheet metal
- Creating localized convex/concave shapes on sheet metal using form features
- Bending flat sheet metal
- Unfolding bent/formed sheet metal into flat plates
- Assisting sheet metal unfolding with features such as deformation surfaces, tearing, and conversion
- Sheet metal engineering drawings
- Sheet metal design empirical formulas (e.g., calculation rules for sheet metal unfolding, the influence of metal materials, the setup and use of bend tables), etc.
- Finally, practical sheet metal design examples such as toolboxes and computer cases are used to illustrate the concepts and processes of sheet metal design.
The accompanying CD-ROM contains source files of the book's examples and a multimedia teaching system. This book is suitable for industry professionals using Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0 for 3D sheet metal modeling design. Additionally, it is also suitable as a training and internship textbook for "Computer-Aided Design" courses in major colleges and universities.
